(Reuters) - ANCHORAGE, Alaska, July 20 - A U.S. federal
appeals court has ordered Royal Dutch Shell Plc to
suspend oil exploration operations in the Beaufort Sea off the
north coast of Alaska pending a legal challenge being brought
by environmental activists and Alaska native groups.
The ruling deals a serious blow to Shell's plan to drill up

test a $44 million bet the company placed on the region in
2005. Oral arguments in the case are set for August 14 in San
Francisco.
