Cyprus President Dimitris Christofias bears direct personal responsibility for a blast at a navy munitions plant on the island that killed 13 people in July, the head of an official inquiry into the explosion said this week.
Christofias was primarily responsible for the “inadequacy, negligence and carelessness” that led to the explosion which also destroyed the island’s main power station, according to Polys Polyviou, who said Christofias should have known about the dangers of storing high-impact explosives inadequately. The head of the inquiry added however that the former defense and foreign ministers -who resigned in the wake of the blast- were also to blame.
