U.S. appeals for info on diplomat missing in Cyprus
2007-07-01
The U.S. embassy in Cyprus issued a public appeal on Sunday for information on the whereabouts of a senior U.S. diplomat who has been missing for three days.

Thomas Mooney, a U.S. defence attache, was last seen on Thursday afternoon
Thomas Mooney, described on the Cyprus government Foreign Ministry Web site as a U.S. defence attache, was last seen on Thursday afternoon. The embassy declined to state the nature of his work, calling him an "employee".

Authorities declined to speculate on where he might be or the reasons for his disappearance. "He just disappeared," a United States embassy official told Reuters.

A U.S. embassy news release with a photo of Mooney urged anyone with information on his whereabouts to contact police. Local media said Mooney was 45. Police on the east Mediterranean island said they would issue a missing persons alert on Sunday. His car was also missing and his mobile phone switched off.

The Cypriot Foreign Ministry Web site said Mooney was accredited to the island in June 2006.
