NICOSIA -- The US defense attache in Cyprus was found dead in a remote rural area of the Mediterranean island yesterday, four days after he disappeared with his diplomatic car. An official indicated that he committed suicide. A Cypriot official involved in the autopsy, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media, said, "There is no evidence of foul play." Lieutenant Colonel Thomas Mooney, 45, who was married with children, had served as military attaché in Cyprus since June 2006. He disappeared with his car on Thursday, prompting a ground and air search. Police said Mooney's body was found near his car on a dirt road. (AP)
