7 December 2005 -- China's state-run Xinhua news agency says at least
96 miners are missing after an explosion at a coal mine in the
country's northern Hebei Province.
It's China's third mine blast in two weeks. China's coal mines are the world's deadliest. More than 6,000 people died in Chinese mine accidents last year.
