FBI and Oregon State Police take the leaders of the militant group during a traffic stop

The FBI and Oregon State Police arrested the leaders of an armed group that has occupied a national wildlife refuge for the past three weeks during a traffic stop that led to gunfire - and one death - along a highway through the frozen high country.

Militant leader Ammon Bundy and his followers were reportedly heading to a community meeting at the senior center in John Day, a Grant County town about 110 kilometers north of Burns, to address local residents to discuss their views on federal management of public lands.
