Explosion in Chinese coal mine kills 20, traps 17

None

A dawn explosion in a Chinese coal mine killed 20 and trapped 17 workers underground Saturday in the country's central region, a national work safety official said.

 

The blast came shortly after the world was riveted by Chile's dramatic rescue of 33 trapped miners after they spent more than two months underground. (AP)
