Experts search for bodies at a military base after an explosion in southern Cyprus July 11, 2011. A massive blast at a military base in Cyprus of confiscated Iranian munitions killed at least 12 people on Monday and knocked out the island's largest power station, officials said. Witnesses said metal rained down on a nearby motorway and the explosion was felt for miles around in the olive groves and small farming villages that surround the Evangelos Florakis navy base on the south coast. Cyprus's defence minister and army chief both resigned hours after the explosion, a government spokesman said. [Photo/Agencies]
