巴基斯坦警方逮捕前总统穆沙拉夫

Pakistani police arrested former president Pervez Musharraf on Friday, presenting him before an Islamabad court on charges stemming from his firing of top judges when he was in power in 2007.

Mr. Musharraf was placed under house arrest and allowed to return home, before being moved to Islamabad police headquarters. It is unclear whether he will be allowed back to his house before he is scheduled to appear before an anti-terrorism court in two days.

After he was arrested Friday, the 69-year-old former military ruler took to Facebook, calling the allegations against him "politically motivated" and vowing to fight them.
