Pakistan Police Detain Opposition Leader Imran Khan

Pakistan opposition politician Imran Khan has reportedly been detained by police after appearing at a rally in Lahore.

He had been in hiding for days after escaping from house arrest following President Pervez Musharraf's declaration of a state of emergency more than a week ago.

Some 200 students cheered wildly and lifted Mr Khan into the air when he appeared on a university campus in the eastern city of Lahore.

Seconds later, plainclothes security men grabbed him and hustled him into a nearby building.
Talath Naqvi, a spokeswoman for a local branch of Mr Khan's party, said he was being held by police.
