Fire Near North Dakota Pipeline Protests Under Investigation


Published on Oct 30, 2016

Authorities were looking into the cause of a blaze that burned through about 400 acres near where Native American leaders are protesting against a North Dakota oil pipeline they say threatens water and sacred lands, officials said on Sunday. Authorities have not given any indication on whether the fire was deliberately set or if it was related to the protests taking place a few miles away. More than 400 protesters have been arrested since Aug. 10 in rallies that have attracted support from celebrities including Mark Ruffalo, Shailene Woodley, Susan Sarandon and Chris Hemsworth.
