Two more miners' bodies found in gold mine: The bodies of another
two dead gold miners were removed on Friday afternoon from inside
state mining company PT Aneka Tambang (Antam)'s Mount Pongkor
gold mine in Bogor regency, upping the confirmed death toll to
six. An unknown number of miners are still trapped inside the
mine. The police have estimated the number at 200, while Antam
says about 90 miners are involved. The rescue team said the dead
miners had all been killed by inhaling thick, black smoke from
inside the mine, which has also hampered the rescue of the
remaining miners and the removal of the dead. -- JP
