NEW YORK -- Pakistan's former Prime Minister Imran Khan survived an assassination attempt on Thursday after being shot in the leg while leading a protest march in Wazirabad, in the country's Punjab province. The attack has triggered violent demonstrations across the country by the 70-year-old Khan's supporters, some against military and government officials.
Eight others, including two senior leaders of Khan's Pakistan's Tehreek-e-Insaaf (Movement for Justice, or PTI) party, were also injured, and one party worker was killed.
