Violence at South Africa mine kills 9

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — Officials say ongoing violence at a platinum mine in South Africa has killed at least nine people.

The violence is happening at a Lonmin PLC mine near Marikana, a town about 70 kilometers (40 miles) northwest of Johannesburg. In a statement Monday, Lonmin said at least four of the mine's workers have been killed in ongoing attacks. That includes two security guards who died Sunday when their car was set ablaze by angry miners.
