Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan was in stable condition after being shot in the leg at a political rally on Thursday in what the country's president deemed "a heinous assassination attempt". It is the latest instance of violence in Pakistani politics, with politicians frequently targeted by assassination attempts, and has echoes of the 2007 assassination of another former prime minister, Benazir Bhutto, says Angela Diffley, France 24's international affairs editor.
