Pakistan ex PM fails to appear in court, son-in-law arrested

ISLAMABAD (AP) -- Pakistan's former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif failed to appear on Monday before an anti-graft tribunal where he was to be indicted on corruption charges along with several family members and co-defendants in the case.

Meanwhile, authorities arrested Sharif's son-in-law, also a co-defendant in the case. The son-in-law, Mohammad Safdar was taken into custody at the Islamabad airport after he and his wife, Maryam Nawaz, arrived from London, said Cabinet minister Talal Chaudhry.
