Imran is ‘lucky to be alive’

-

IMRAN Khan has admitted he “should not have survived” after being shot four times in an assassinat­ion attempt last week.

The former Pakistan PM and cricket legend was blasted twice in each leg during a political rally in Wazirabad, Punjab, and is recuperati­ng in hospital.

The 70-year-old, who was ousted from office in April, said: “I’ve had three bullets taken out from my right leg and some shrapnel in my left leg.

“So one of the bullets has fractured my shin bone, so that will take a bit of time.

“But I am recovering and glad – it could have been a lot worse.”
