many more were feared injured. Another two Greeks died last night when the weekend violence exploded here in the capital. British residents also came in for stone-throwing. British officials clamped a curfew on Larnaca and rounded up 50 Grecks and 30 Turks in Nicosia as an aftermath of the earlier clash.
