巴基斯坦反贪局拒绝逮捕总理阿什拉夫

The head of Pakistan\'s anti-corruption bureau says it has decided not to arrest Prime Minister Raja Pervaiz Ashraf, despite orders to do so by the supreme court.

Fasih Bokhari, chief of the National Accountability Bureau, told the court Thursday that he does not have sufficient evidence to arrest Mr. Ashraf on corruption charges.

On Tuesday, the supreme court ordered the arrest of the prime minister and 15 others on charges involving private power stations.

Mr. Ashraf is accused of taking bribes for arranging to build power plants to serve Pakistan\'s power deficiency. Mr. Ashraf has denied the allegations.

Observers say the arrest warrants could worsen the already-existing tension between the government and the courts.

巴基斯坦国家问责局局长伯哈里星期四对最高法院说，他没有得到以贪污指控逮捕阿什拉夫的足够证据。

星期二，巴基斯坦最高法院下令逮捕被控参与私营发电厂交易的阿什拉夫以及其他15人。

阿什拉夫被控接受贿赂，以安排建造发电厂，解决巴基斯坦的电力短缺问题。阿什拉夫否认这些指称。

观察人士说，逮捕令问题可能使巴基斯坦政府与法院之间原本就很紧张的关系更加恶化。
