The FBI has moved in on the last four occupiers at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon, the Oregonian newspaper reports.

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 stand-off at the compound.

The takeover at Malheur started on January 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.
