Former Pakistan PM Imran Khan injured in assassination bid

Amid a war of words between him and Pakistan's ISI chief, unidentified assailants opened fire on Pakistan Tehreeq-e-Insaaf Party chairman Imran Khan’s container in Wazirabad in which he and over 6 other people suffered injuries.

Reports in the Pakistani media said that the former Prime Minister was injured near the Allah Ho Chowk and he suffered a bullet injury in his leg.

PTI leader Azhar said in a tweet that Imran Khan is safe while the culprit has been arrested.

The attack took place on the seventh day of his long march from Lahore to Islamabad which was being carried out to press the authorities to hold the general elections.
