Gunmen killed three people near Freeport McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc's giant Grasberg mine in Indonesia, the firm said on Friday, the latest attack on a company suffering from a strike, sabotage and blockades.
Separately, a mine worker in Timika on Papua province where the remote mountain mine is located, said that a pipeline called Mile 29 carrying copper concentrates is leaking.
Initial reports from government authorities indicate that gunshots were fired by unknown men on a lowland access road, killing a contract worker and two others who were not employees, said Freeport Indonesia spokesman Ramdani Sirait.
"Police are investigating the incident with our full support and cooperation," said Sirait.
A similar attack came several miles away on Oct. 14 when unidentified gunmen shot dead two men and another burned to death inside a car.
Freeport is facing a prolonged strike at Grasberg, the world's second biggest copper mine, and it was not clear if the shootings were linked to that dispute or to a simmering independence movement in the remote region.
