Two Turkish miners killed by gas leak: official

Two Turkish miners working in a chromium mine lost their lives and three more were hospitalised after a gas leak in a mine shaft, local officials said.
The miners working in the Yesilova district of Burdur province of southern Turkey were poisoned by the leak, Burdur governor Hasan Kurklu was quoted as saying by local media.
He said an investigation was in progress into the cause of the tragedy.
The incident comes just over a year after 301 miners were killed by a fire at the Soma mine in western Turkey, the country's worst modern industrial disaster which raised new questions about its safety standards.
