Islamabad | Former Prime Minister Imran Khan of Pakistan was wounded at a rally after at least one unidentified man opened fire on his convoy, in what his aides called on Friday a targeted attack.

The attack, one of the most serious outbreaks of political violence targeting a prominent government official since former prime minister Benazir Bhutto was assassinated in 2007, hit while Mr Khan was in Wazirabad, in eastern Pakistan, leading a protest march to the capital, Islamabad.
