ISLAMABAD (Reuters) -- Pakistan's former Prime Minister Imran Khan was indicted on Thursday on charges of inciting attacks against the military, a case stemming from deadly antigovernment rallies led by his party last year.

The indictment was the latest in dozens of cases against the 72-year-old former cricket star turned politician, who has been in jail since late last year. It came hours after a court issued warrants to arrest Khan's wife.
