Rescuers try to reach 9 trapped miners in Peru

None

It may take two or three more days to rescue nine miners trapped in an informal copper mine, Peru's prime minister said, as rescuers supplied the men with liquid sustenance through a hose.

 

The miners have been stuck since Thursday, when a shaft collapsed following a blast apparently set by the men themselves inside the mine, which is dug into a mountainside 175 miles (280 kilometers) southeast of Lima. (AP)
