Sharif's brother facing arrest
Former Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's politician brother faced possible arrest today over murder charges dating back to 1998 after both brothers were excluded from forthcoming parliamentary elections.
An anti-terrorism court in Lahore issued contempt notices to two police officers for not arresting Shahbaz Sharif for having allegedly ordered security forces to kill suspected criminals in a shoot-out eight years ago, when he was chief minister of Punjab province, the state-run Associated Press of Pakistan reported today.
