In an interview with FRANCE 24, former Pakistani prime minister Imran Khan reacted to the November 3 assassination attempt against him at a protest rally, during which he was shot in the leg. Officially, the gunman is believed to have acted alone, but Khan said he suspected the assailant was merely a decoy serving the interests of a state-level conspiracy. He directly accused current top government leaders, saying they feel threatened by his party’s popularity in view of the next elections in Pakistan. Khan also said he feared he could be attacked again in the near future.
