Time Bomb Explodes In Secretariat Building

Nicosia, July 10.

Two explosions caused fires and one of them serious damage in Nicosia today as Mr Alan Lennox-Boyd, British Secretary of State for the Colonies, continued talks with local leaders about unrest in the island colony.

British troops were posted outside Government House where Mr Lennox-Boyd was lunching after an explosion had considerably dumaged a large section of the income tax block within the secretariat group of buildings, half a mile away,

It was later understood it was caused by a time bomb.

The police guard within the secretariat was doubled after the expicalon and roads adjoin ing the block were scaled off,

This was the Arst daytime bomb outrage since Aprli 1 when the terrorist organisation Eoks began bomb incidents to demonstrate for Enosis (Union with Greece).

Early this morning, a hand grenade was thrown at an army stores near Wolseley barracks- site of Britain's Middle East land forces headquarters. It caused a small are but no casualties, a military spokesman said.
