NAIROBI (Reuters) - Gunmen in Ethiopia have shot and killed five workers from a mining company in the restive west on Tuesday, residents said, with a TV station reporting two foreigners among the dead. State-affiliated Fana Broadcasting said on Twitter three Ethiopians and two foreign nationals had died in the incident early on Tuesday. In recent years the Oromo have been angered by what they see as encroachment on their land. It was unclear which mining company was involved in Tuesday's incident. Others are Newmont Mining, which is prospecting for gold, while Norwegian fertilizer maker Yara International plans to build a potash mine and a fertilizer factory.
