Malaysia's Anwar Ibrahim arrested
11:45 AM
Police arrested Malaysian opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim on Wednesday about an hour before a deadline for him to appear at police headquarters to answer allegations that he sodomized a male aide.
The arrest was likely to exacerbate the political divisions and tensions that have been running high since the opposition made unprecedented gains in the March general elections, eroding the ruling coalition's strength in Parliament.
Anwar has denied the sodomy accusation — made in a police complaint by the young male aide last month — as a political conspiracy by the government to snuff out his publicly announced campaign to seize power by September.
About a dozen policemen, some of them wearing balaclavas, cordoned off the road leading to Anwar's house and stopped his car, said his lawyer Sankara Nair. He said the policemen informed Anwar that they had orders to arrest him but gave no reason.
Anwar was bundled into a police car with dark tinted windows and driven to the police headquarters where a crowd of opposition lawmakers including his wife Azizah Ismail gathered outside. They were not allowed inside, and there was no trouble or violence.
Azizah said Anwar called on her cell phone after being arrested.
"I feel apprehensive because my husband ... is not that well. He has a bad back, he's had surgery. And (during our) the brief conversation he said they (police) were not gentle," she said.
It was not clear why Anwar was arrested a little before 1 p.m. since he had said he would present himself for interrogation before the Wednesday 2 p.m. deadline set by the police.
Azmin Ali, the vice president of Anwar's People's Justice Party, called the arrest "outrageous and very uncivilized."
"This is not a criminal case but a political case," he said.
The arrest was made as Anwar was returning home from the administrative capital of Putrajaya. He had told reporters there that he would go to the police headquarters at 2 p.m. and "give my fullest cooperation" to the police...

Raja Petra terima waran tangkap
Jul 16, 08 4:43pm
Polis mengeluarkan waran tangkap terhadap penulis blog terkenal Raja Petra Kamarudin berhubung siasatan akaun berkanunnya yang mengaitkan isteri timbalan perdana menteri dengan pembunuhan Altantuya Shaariibuu.
Raja Petra dikehendaki hadir di ibu pejabat polis kontinjen (IPK) Kuala Lumpur jam 10 pagi esok.
Peguam pengendali Malaysia Today menerima waran itu pagi ini dan Raja Petra mengesahkan perkara itu dengan polis petang ini, kata isterinya Marina Lee Abdullah.
Dalam akuan berkanunnya bertarikh 18 Jun lalu, Raja Petra menuduh Rosmah antara tiga individu yang berada di tempat kejadian ketika wanita Mongolia itu dibunuh pada 19 Oktober 2006.
Katanya, beliau mendapat maklumat yang boleh dipercayai bahawa antara kira-kira jam 10 malam 19 Oktober 2006 dan awal pagi berikutnya, malam mangsa dibunuh, terdapat dua orang lagi di tempat kejadian.
Beliau menamakan dua individu itu sebagai seorang kolonel, yang menurutnya pakar bom 'C4' dan isterinya yang dikatakan pengawal peribadi Rosmah.
