Two Arrested in Idaho for Attempting to Block Passage of Tar Sands Equipment 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------



Two people were arrested in Moscow, Idaho, late Sunday night after they
attempted to stop the passage of megaload trucks carrying oil company
equipment to the Canadian tar sands. Activists said the two were
arrested after they linked arms and sat down in the street in an attempt
to block the trucks. Sunday’s action was one of dozens spurred by the
passage through Moscow of shipments carrying oil-related equipment to
the tar sands.
