FBI moving in on last four occupiers at Oregon wildlife refuge -report
Feb 10 (Reuters) - The FBI on Wednesday evening moved in on the last four occupiers at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon, the Oregonian newspaper reported.
The four armed, anti-government protesters had been indicted last week with 12 others on charges of conspiring to impede federal officers during an armed standoff at the compound.
The takeover at Malheur started on Jan. 2 when their leader, Ammon Bundy, and followers, seized buildings at the refuge in a protest against federal control over millions of acres public land in the West. (Reporting by Mary Wisniewski in Chicago; Editing by Lisa Shumaker)
