More than 20 dead, and scores wounded, in clashes between two opposing groups of miners, in Huanuni.

According to the BBC, "Huanuni produces 5% of the world's tin", so it seems there is lots of money involved.

Rumors say the government didn't want to send military to control the situation, but kindly offered to send coffins.
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
