16 Arrested Blocking Tar Sands Shipment in Oregon 
--------------------------------------------------


 
Sixteen people have been arrested in Oregon after blocking a shipment of
equipment bound for the Alberta tar sands. The protesters locked
themselves to two vehicles in front of the truck's route. Organizers say
the action marked the sixth against tar sands shipments in the Pacific
Northwest in just over two weeks.
