Then the British arranged another truce. The shooting came as American and British diplomats pursued talks in. Nicosia with the aim of landing an international peace force on this troubled island.

An Associated Press correspondent said he saw five Turkish dead in a Turkish Cypriot area of Lim- assol overrun in the battle.
