Zardari Bhutto freed

FORMER Pakistani prime minister Benazir Bhutto’s husband was freed on bail yesterday - 24 hours after he was arrested for failing to appear at a murder trial.

Asif Ali Zardari was accused of plotting the 1996 murders of a former judge and his son.

The arrest prevented him from addressing an opposition rally near the capital that could have been politically embarrassing to President General Pervez Musharraf.
