Former prime minister shot when his convoy came under fire in eastern Punjab province
A gunman opened fire at a container lorry carrying Pakistan’s former prime minister Imran Khan, wounding him in the leg and also some of his supporters as he led a protest march on Islamabad to demand snap elections, a senior leader from his party and police have said.
A party aide said Khan had been wounded in the shin and was not seriously hurt. “A man opened fire with an automatic weapon. Several people are wounded. Imran Khan is also injured,” Asad Umar told Reuters.
