Game warden’s car bombed

POLICE yesterday released three men who had been detained on suspicion of carrying out a Limassol bomb attack late on Sunday night.

The device exploded under a car belonging to game warden Nicos Agathocleous outside his house. There were no injuries.

Police believe the bombing was carried out as part of a vendetta against game wardens in the area, as it is the 10th in a series of similar incidents.

A further 15 people were questioned about the explosion, but no arrests were made.

Agathocleous is due to testify against a suspected poacher in Limassol district court today.
