KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia - Police began an investigation Sunday into an allegation that opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim sodomized his male aide, sparking speculation he could be sent back to prison on the same charge that led to his ouster from Malaysia's government a decade ago.

 

Anwar immediately took refuge in Turkey's embassy in Kuala Lumpur because of concerns about his safety, opposition officials said. He denounced the allegation â?? made in a police complaint filed by the 23-year-old aide â?? as "a complete fabrication."

Anwar, 60, resurrected his political career after leading the opposition to spectacular gains in those elections.
