As many as 30 miners were trapped underground Tuesday after a tunnel caved in at a giant gold and copper mine in Indonesia's easternmost province of Papua, police said. The accident happened Tuesday morning at the Grasberg mine in remote Mimika district, said Papua police spokesman Lt. Col. Gede Sumerta Jaya. A search was underway, but the fate of the trapped workers was unclear, he was quoted as saying by the Associated Press.
