An official says, according to AP, that two crewmen have been injured while ejecting from a British military jet that went down at a Royal Air Force base in Cyprus. Stuart Bardsley says the pilot and co-pilot of the British Harrier jet are being treated for non-life threatening injuries. He said the jet was on a training exercise at RAF Akrotiri at the time Monday. Bardsley says the plane is «down on the ground in a non-operational order,» but he declined to use the word «crash,» saying an investigation is under way. RAF Akrotiri is one of two Sovereign Base Areas on Cyprus that Britain kept after the former colony gained independence in 1960.
