There were violent scenes on Tuesday as police attempted to arrest Pakistan's opposition leader.
By Caroline Davies & Gareth EvansPakistan's main opposition leader Imran Khan has greeted supporters outside his home, just hours after there were violent clashes as police tried to arrest him.
He said the operation would likely continue after the final of the Pakistan Super League on 19 March. On Tuesday, officers in riot gear fired tear gas shells to disperse hundreds of angry supporters of Mr Khan at the compound. Some of the crowd threw stones and bricks. Mr Khan earlier told the BBC there was "no reason" for police to arrest him as he had taken protective bail until Saturday. He also said the government was determined to put him behind bars after previous failed attempts.
