Elderly Protester Halts Construction of Keystone XL in Oklahoma 
----------------------------------------------------------------


 
A 79-year-old woman was arrested in Oklahoma on Tuesday for locking
herself to a piece of construction equipment used in building the
Keystone XL oil pipeline. Nancy Zorn attached herself to an excavator by
placing a bike lock around her neck. She was detained after halting
construction for several hours. The group Great Plains Tar Sands
Resistance says it is escalating protests against the Keystone XL in
Oklahoma following Exxon Mobil's tar sands pipeline spill in neighboring
Arkansas.
