Two employees of U.S. mining giant Freeport have been killed after a company car caught fire in a restive Indonesian province.
Company spokesman Ramdani Sirait says that police suggested to them that unidentified gunmen fired at the car.
But deputy chief of police Maj. Mada Indra Laksanta said Friday it was too early to conclude that the car was shot at.
Thursday's incident came just one day after gunmen ambushed a Freeport van, injuring two employees.
The company spokesman says the latest incident has not affected operations at the world's largest gold mine in Papua province.
The mine has been a target of violence by separatists since production began in the 1970s. It is run by Arizona-based Freeport McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc.
