Mine Collapse Kills Two in Indonesia's Papua

Two miners were killed when the roof of a U.S.-owned mine in Indonesia's restive Papua province collapsed on them, police said Tuesday.
The men were working in an underground mine belonging to U.S. mining giant Freeport-McMoRan Gold Co. late Monday when the roof collapsed, pinning them beneath earth and rocks, Mimika district deputy police chief Mada Aksanta said.
“Our speculation is that mine blasting had caused the ceiling to collapse. We're still investigating,“ he added.
Rescuers have pulled out one body and are still searching for the other, Aksanta said, adding that police are also checking whether there were others working in the mine. Freeport, which mines gold and copper, is the largest single taxpayer to the Indonesian government.
