Imran Khan Shot in 'Assassination Attempt' during Pakistan March

Nov 3, 2022 | Imran Khan, the former Pakistani prime minister, has reportedly been injured in a shooting attack during a march on the capital Islamabad with his supporters. At least three other people were injured when unidentified gunmen opened fire on the vehicle carrying Mr Khan as it passed through Wazirabad, about 110 miles south-east of Islamabad, local media reported. Mr Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party called the attack an “assassination attempt”, adding that PTI leader Faisal Javed had also been injured. The PTI’s Imran Ismail has said Mr Khan was shot in the leg "three to four" times by an attacker wielding an AK-47. He told Pakistan’s Bol TV that he was standing next to the former Pakistani leader when the attack occurred. A PTI spokesman said Mr Khan was “safe” and that a suspect has been arrested.
