Breaking News -- Oregon leader seized in deadly clash

Breaking News image


One person has died during an operation by US police to arrest the leader of an armed occupation at a wildlife refuge in Oregon.

Ammon Bundy and five others were arrested during a traffic stop, police said. One person was injured.

It is not clear whether the police operation brought the standoff at the wildlife refuge to an end.

The self-proclaimed militia led by Mr Bundy occupied the refuge earlier this month in support of two local ranchers.

The ranchers had been returned to prison for setting fires that spread to federal land.
