An anti-energy industry activist convicted of bombing oil and gas wells a decade ago was arrested in connection with the investigation into a series of pipeline bombings in northeastern British Columbia, his lawyer said.



Wiebo Ludwig is being investigated on charges of extortion against EnCana Corp., one of Canada's largest oil and gas companies, Ludwig's lawyer Paul Moreau said Friday.

Royal Canadian Mounted Police Inspector Tim Shields would not identify the man arrested Friday as he has yet to be charged. Shields said prosecutors have not made a decision yet.

About 100 officers initially searched the farm in the western Alberta town of Hythe in connection with the case, Shields said. The farm belongs to Ludwig, Moreau said.

There have been six bombings of EnCana pipelines in British Columbia since October 2008. No one was injured in the attacks which caused only minor disruptions to pipeline operations.
