Pakistan police arrest four opposition leaders

---

ISLAMABAD, Sept 23 (AFP): Pakistani police detained four key opposition figures Saturday to prevent further protests against President Pervez Musharraf's re-election, police and party officials said.
The men support an alliance of pro-democracy parties which has vowed to hold demonstrations against Musharraf's intention to stand for another five-year term in the October 6 polls.
One of the men was Javed Hashmi, a leader of exiled former premier Nawaz Sharif's Pakistan Muslim League, who was freed by the Supreme Court in July after serving three years in jail on sedition charges, he said.
