Twenty-four suspects have been rounded up by police following a deadly mass melee at a disputed coal mine in North China's Shanxi province, a local official said yesterday.

Four villagers died and 14 were injured when more than 100 armed men, believed to be hired by the coal mine's former owner, descended on the mine last Monday.
