Former Pakistan prime minister, Imran Khan, has been shot in the leg in what his supporters say was an assassination attempt.
A gunman opened fire while Mr Khan was giving a speech to supporters at a rally in Wazirabad in Punjab province, officials said, wounding him and some of his supporters.

Sky News reports that its producer was standing close to Mr Khan soon after the injured politician emerged from his container truck after the shooting.
However, Mr Khan was rushed away from the scene and his supporters said he had survived the assassination attempt.
The former cricketer – who has been pushing for new elections after being ousted from power in April – has been delivering fiery speeches at gatherings across the country.
He was six days into a march from Lahore to Islamabad in his drive to bring early elections to the country, pushing for radical change, when the shooting took place.
