3 killed in Indonesia, including 2 Americans

TEMBAGAPURA, Indonesia (CNN) -- Three people, including two American teachers, were killed Saturday when armed men attacked a busload of mine employees in Indonesia, police said.

Another 11 people were injured.

Police said they had no other immediate details on the incident, which happened in the early afternoon near the mining town of Tembagapura, where workers live.

The mine entrance is on the side of a mountain.

The American-owned mine -- the largest copper and gold mine in the world -- is the province of West Papua, the easternmost province in Indonesia.
