Pakistan's cricket star-turned prime minister Imran Khan was shot on Thursday as an assailant opened fire on his vehicle in an apparent assassination attempt. Representatives for the ex-premier told CBS News he was hit in the foot and or the lower leg, and his injuries were not life-threatening. He was transported to a hospital in Lahore for treatment.
About a half-dozen other members of Khan's entourage also sustained injuries in the attack, which the senior vice president of Khan's political party, PTI, called "a clear assassination attempt."
"If the shooter had not been stopped by people there, the entire PTI leadership would have been wiped out," Fawad Chaudhry told the Reuters news agency.
