NICOSIA, Aug 15 (Reuters) - The German pilot and a family of four
Armenians were the only non-Greeks or non-Cypriots among 121 people
killed when a Cyprus airliner crashed near Athens on Sunday, the
Cypriot government announced on Monday.
There were 12 Greek dead, the other 104 victims were Cypriots, the
announcement said, releasing the official passenger list from the
crashed Helios Airways Boeing 737 flight from Larnaca in Cyprus to
Prague with a stop in Athens.
Early indications suggest the 115 passengers and six crew were dead or
unconscious when the plane plunged into a mountain north of Athens. A
Greek Defence Ministry source said on Monday autopsies showed most
of the bodies were "frozen solid".
