I guess Zardari was trying his best to get back in jail :hehe:
Pakistan police re-arrest Zardari
Mr Zardari was released from jail last month
Police in Pakistan have re-arrested Asif Ali Zardari, the husband of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto.
Mr Zardari was detained at Islamabad airport on the orders of a court after he failed to attend a hearing in a murder trial in the city of Karachi.
Police fired tear gas to disperse hundreds of Mr Zardari’s supporters who had gathered at the airport.
He was freed on bail last month after eight years in jail on charges of corruption and conspiracy to murder.
Observers say the release may have been part of moves by the government to end its long stand-off with Pakistan’s secular opposition.
‘Undemocratic’
Judge Pir Ali Shah of the special anti-terrorism court in Karachi cancelled Mr Zardari’s bail on Tuesday after he did not turn up in court.
The way they have cancelled the bail clearly shows that they are scared of my popularity
Asif Ali Zardari
He is accused of involvement in the killing of a judge and his son in Karachi in 1996 - charges he denies.
Mr Zardari had travelled to the Pakistani capital to address a political rally. When he arrived at the airport, police produced a warrant for his arrest.
“We are going to challenge this - I have been in prison and I know these tactics,” Mr Zardari told the BBC’s Urdu service by mobile phone while his lawyers checked the warrant.
He asked what right the authorities had to prevent him from attending a public meeting.
“I condemn this undemocratic step. It’s against my basic right of movement.”
Earlier, he told the AFP news agency that the cancellation of his bail showed the government “are scared of my popularity”.
The BBC’s Zaffar Abbas at Islamabad airport says the authorities may have been unnerved by the reception Mr Zardari has received from opposition supporters since his release.
Corruption charges
Last month Mr Zardari was released from detention in hospital in Karachi, where he was being treated for various ailments.
Benazir Bhutto has lived abroad since 1997
Soon after his release he said he would work to “galvanise democracy” in Pakistan.
Benazir Bhutto, who also faces corruption charges in Pakistan, was twice prime minister and still leads the Pakistan People’s Party.
Her governments were dissolved in 1990 and 1996 for alleged corruption.
She went into self-imposed exile in 1999.
