Four Anti-Mining Activists Arrested in Virginia
-----------------------------------------------



In West Virginia, state police arrested four members of the group
Climate Ground Zero on Tuesday on trespass charges stemming from an
action in October. The four activists were all arrested at their homes.
On October 10, the activists took part in a protest at the headquarters
of Walker CAT, a firm that makes heavy equipment used in mountaintop
coal mining.
