NICOSIA, Cyprus (Reuters) -- A Cypriot army plane crashed into a house on the island on Saturday after clipping the bell tower of a packed church and narrowly missing a 13th century Crusaders' castle, police said. The two pilots of the single-engine PC-9 trainer were killed on impact but no one was in the home, authorities said. Witnesses said the plane plunged into the garage of a British-owned home in Kolossi, a community lying some 5 km (3 miles) east of the British air force base of Akrotiri. Kolossi is a community of some 2,000 Britons, Germans and Cypriots. The aircraft had circled over Kolossi three times in obvious difficulty and clipped the bell tower of a church holding a memorial service before crashing, witnesses said..
