Landslide kills 12 in Indonesia [1]

A landslide has killed 12 illegal copper miners and buried at least nine others in Indonesia's eastern province of Papua, the police said on Tuesday. "The illegal miners were working in an area between two tall cliffs and one side collapsed," local police chief Godhelp told AFP by telephone. "We have found 12 bodies so far and there are at least nine more of them."
