ZENICA, Bosnia (December 12,2007) - Two miners were killed yesterday when they were buried by coal waste in a mine in central Bosnia, Bosnian police said.
It was immediately unclear how the waste coals came loose and poured over the men in the Stara Jama mining pit, near the city of Zenica. The Bosnian authorities were investigating.
Mine manager Merhun Arnaut identified the two workers as Samir Cajlakovic, 37, and Muris Pipo, 33.Rescuers have reached the body of Cajlakovic, but were still searching through the coals for Pipo's body, Arnaut was quoted as saying.
The last major accident in the Zenica coal mine occurred in 1982, when a methane blast killed 39 Bosnian miners.
