Police in London have arrested the leader of Pakistan's MQM party, Altaf Hussain, on money-laundering charges. Officers are searching a residential address in north-west London, where a 60-year-old man was detained. Mr Hussain has lived in the UK since 1991, saying his life would be at risk if he returned to Pakistan. Police in Karachi, Pakistan's largest city, which the MQM controls, have been put on alert amid fears of violence, according to BBC.
