Endangered tigers kill 6 people

Endangered Sumatran tigers have killed six people in Indonesia's Jambi province since early February, including three illegal loggers in the most recent attacks, a conservation official said yesterday.

On Sunday, a tiger attacked and killed a man carrying logs near an illegal logging camp, Wurjanto said. Two other loggers in the area were mauled and killed on Saturday. The attacks are likely taking place because people were disturbing the habitat of the tigers.
