Third Death Near Indonesia Mine By THE NEW YORK TIMES Published: July 13, 2009 A police officer who had been reported missing Sunday was found dead Monday near a mine in Papua Province, Indonesia. The mine, part of a gold- and copper-mining complex called Grasberg, is run by Freeport, the American conglomerate. The officer was reported missing Sunday after a gunfight in the hills surrounding the mining complex, the province's police chief told The Associated Press. His death followed the fatal ambushes over the weekend of a security guard and an Australian mining expert both working for Freeport in the same area. It was not clear who was behind the attacks, though Indonesian authorities blamed Papuan separatists who have been fighting for autonomy for their province for decades. Thousands of Indonesian troops are stationed in Papua, which remains the country's most impoverished province despite the wealth of its resources.
