Pakistan's Supreme Court ordered the arrest of Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani for contempt of court after he refused to reopen corruption cases against President Asif Ali Zardari. Gilani maintained that as president, Zardari had immunity from prosecution. The ruling dealt a blow to the already troubled coalition government led by Gilani's Pakistan People's Party.
