Brazil to Arrest Rancher in Death of American Nun
-------------------------------------------------



In Brazil, there is a development in the murder case of Dorothy Stang,
the American nun killed in 2005 for speaking out against logging in the
Amazon rain forest. Prosecutors in Brazil said they plan to charge a
rancher named Regivaldo Galvao after new questions about his involvement
were raised in the documentary film They Killed Sister Dorothy. Stang
spent thirty years in Brazil trying to prevent ranchers from taking the
land of poor Amazon settlers.
