Bhutto house arrest order lifted

Roadblocks and barbed wire were set up around Ms Bhutto's home
Pakistani opposition leader Benazir Bhutto has been released from house arrest in the capital, Islamabad.

The order was imposed early on Friday, blocking Ms Bhutto's attempt to lead a rally against the emergency rule declared by President Pervez Musharraf.

The United States had criticised the move saying that she must be "permitted freedom of movement."

Ms Bhutto has vowed to wage a campaign aimed at forcing General Musharraf to stand down as head of the army.

A three-day detention order was served on the former prime minister after she tried to cross the heavy police cordon set up outside her home on Friday.

Police had surrounded the house early in the morning with roadblocks and coils of barbed wire to prevent her from addressing a rally in the neighbouring city of Rawalpindi
.

Under emergency rule announced last week, such public gatherings have been banned.
