Police put opposition leader Nawaz Sharif under house arrest Sunday to stop him from leading anti-government protests, his spokesman said, fanning a political crisis that has alarmed the United States about Pakistan's ability to fend off growing Islamist violence.
Sharif aides said hundreds of police surrounded his residence in the eastern city of Lahore before dawn on Sunday and detained about 250 of his supporters gathered outside.
