Former Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari arrested

Pakistan's former President Asif Ali Zardari was arrested by officials from the National Accountability Bureau in Islamabad.

He was arrested after an appeal for an extension of the pre-arrest bail was rejected by the Islamabad High Court on Monday.

Zardari appeared in court alongside his sister Faryal Talpur, a member of his Pakistan People's Party whose appeal was also rejected.

Both are facing charges in connection with the fake bank accounts scandal.
