Former Pakistan PM Imran Khan Shot In Foot At Political Rally

Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan was shot in the foot Thursday at a political rally but is in a stable condition, a senior aide said.

Khan was wounded when shots were fired from the crowd near the city of Gujranwala, his senior aide, Raoof Hasan, told AFP.

Khan has been leading a march since last Friday from the city of Lahore towards the capital Islamabad, campaigning for fresh elections after he was ousted from office this spring.

Each day during his so-called “long march” 70 year-old Khan has mounted a shipping container towed by a lorry, making speeches from the open top to crowds of thousands in cities and towns along the way.
