Pak court orders security for Zardari

Asif Ali Zardari, who was freed on bail last month in the last of 17 cases of graft, murder and drug smuggling, said he told judges in Pakistan's largest city Karachi that he had received death threats.

Zardari told AFP he was granted an interim order that he should receive a police escort and be allowed to hire his own security guards, pending a formal hearing at a later date.
