The lawmaker with the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party was wounded in the attack late Saturday along with three others and was hospitalized in the provincial capital of Peshawar. No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack. The assault took place in conservative Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, which is governed by Khan’s party.
