Islamabad: Ten people, including four police
personnel, were injured in a grenade attack and firing at a rally
of cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan in Swabi area of
Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province Friday.
Imran, increasingly emerging as the central piece in Pakistan's
politics, escaped unhurt as he had already left the venue when the
attack occurred.
According to the Geo News, a police vehicle was targeted with two
hand grenades following a rally of Imran Khan's Pakistan
Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) rally. Four police officers and six
civilians were injured in the attack.
Police opened retaliatory fire following the explosions. The area
was cordoned off and a bomb disposal squad reached the site.
Imran, who heads the Tehreek-e-Insaf, later said he was unhurt and
safe, as the attack took place after he had already left the
rally's venue.
