Massachusetts: Religious Leaders Arrested Blocking Spectra Pipeline
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, in Massachusetts, more than a dozen religious leaders were
arrested Wednesday for blocking construction of another Spectra gas
pipeline. The interfaith group held a prayer on the construction site in
West Roxbury, where Spectra is trying to build a gas pipeline. Local
residents and politicians have long opposed the West Roxbury Lateral
Pipeline; they say it's dangerous for the pipeline to run alongside a
quarry where there is frequent blasting.
