Wisconsin: 6 People Arrested Protesting Construction of Tar Sands Pipeline
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

And in Wisconsin, six people were arrested after one person locked
himself to a piece of heavy machinery to stop the construction of the
Enbridge Line 3 pipeline. The proposed line would carry tar sands oil
from Alberta, Canada, to a terminal in Superior, Wisconsin. It faces
sustained resistance from indigenous nations and environmental activists
in both the U.S. and Canada.
