Azizah Ismail, center right, wife of sacked Deputy Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, is hugged by a supporter at their residence in Kuala Lumpur, Tuesday September 22, 1998. Troops armed with assault rifles surrounded Ibrahim's house Tuesday, two days after Ibrahim was arrested. Anwar has not been seen since Sunday when police dragged him from his home and arrested him, citing the country's Internal Security Act. The detention followed Anwar's campaign in recent weeks to rally popular support against Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad, who has ruled this Southeast Asian country for 17 years. |
