In Shooting
NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) -
Greek Cypriot police today con-
demned an attempt to murder
four Turkish Cypriots, blamed
on other Greek Cypriots. Two
Turks were killed, one was
wounded and the fourth missing.
A police spokesman de-
nounced as “an abomniable
crime” the shooting Monday
night, which threatened to touch
off a new wave of fighting be-
tween the Greek and Turkish
communities.
Dr. Fazil Kuchuk, Turkish
Cypriot vice president of the is-
land, charged that Greek
Cypriots marched the four
Turks into a field outside a Ni-
cosia city gate, shot them with
rifles and left them for dead.
Kuchuk, who based his accu-
sation on the survivor’s account,
said he believed the shooting
was in reprisal for the slaying
of a Greek Cypriot auxiliary po-
liceman in Nicosia Sunday.
