		</div><p>A gunman has opened fire on a container truck carrying Pakistan’s former prime minister Imran Khan, hurting him and some of his supporters, a senior leader from his party and police said.</p>
<p>Mr Khan was wounded in the foot but escaped serious injury, party official Asad Umar said.</p>
<p>The identity of the gunman was not immediately known. An arrest was made at the scene.</p>
<p>No group has claimed responsibility for the attack.</p>
<p>The shooting happened in the Wazirabad district in the eastern Punjab province where Mr Khan was travelling in a large convoy of trucks and cars heading towards the capital, Islamabad, as part of his campaign aimed at forcing the government to hold early elections, police said.</p>
<p>Mr Khan with later seen with a bandage on his foot.</p>
<p>He was moved to another vehicle from his container truck, from which announcements were made that he is safe.</p>
<p>Some of the supporters from his Tehreek-e-Insaf party were also hurt, according to the announcement from the party.</p>
<p>The attack happened less than a week after Mr Khan began his march from Lahore, the capital of Punjab province, along with thousands of supporters.</p>
<p>Since his ousting in a no-confidence vote in Parliament in April, Mr Khan has alleged it was a conspiracy engineered by his successor, Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif, and the United States — claims both the new premier and Washington have denied.</p>
