Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has been shot at a protest march in what his supporters are saying was an assassination attempt.
Khan was reportedly shot in the leg after a guman opened fire while he was giving a speech to a large crowd of supporters at a rally in Wazirabad in the nation’s Punjab Province in the past hour. Members of Khan’s Pti party told the BBC another four people were hurt, but no one was killed.
According to a Sky News producer and reporter, who were at the scene, 70-year-old Khan was rushed away from the scene immediately following gunshots and screams, and Sky then spoke to his supporters who said he had survived the assassination attempt. “This was an attempt to kill him, to assassinate him,” one senior aide told Afp.
