Imran Khan says a second military officer also involved in 'execution plan', threatens to reveal name
Imran Khan assassination attempt
Former Pakistan prime minister Imran Khan has threatened to reveal the name of a second military officer who he alleged had monitored the assassination attempt on him from a "control room" along with Major General Faisal Naseer. Khan was shot in the leg by a gunman during his anti-government rally in the Wazirabad area of Punjab province last Thursday.
Khan has alleged that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, interior minister Rana Sanaullah and Major General Naseer were involved in the bid on his life. He tweeted that he will reveal the name of another officer who was with Naseer in the control room from 12 pm to 5 pm. Naseer is the chief of the counterintelligence wing of the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI).

“I will also disclose the name of the second officer who was sitting with Maj General Faisal in the control room from around 12 noon to 5 pm monitoring the execution of the plot (on Nov 3),” Khan tweeted.
Khan compared the attack on him with the killing of former Punjab governor Salman Taseer in 2011 by a religious extremist.
“I had found about the assassination plot hatched against me almost two months ago and hadexposed it in public rallies in RYK (Rahim Yar Khan) on September 24 & Mianwali on October 7. Wazirabad assassination attempt followed the script," Khan said.

Reese Witherspoon's father hospitalised after poolside incident in Nashville: Report
An FIR was lodged by the Punjab police after being directed by the Supreme Court to do so within 24 hours of the order.The FIR was registered but it did not name the three whom Imran Khan had said were behind the attack. Earlier, the FIR wasn't being registered as Khan was not ready to drop the name of Naseer from it. This is when the Supreme Court intervened.
Khan underwent surgery for bullet injuries at the Shaukat Khanum Hospital and was discharged on Sunday. He is currently at his Zaman Park residence in Lahore and has been advised rest for four to six weeks.
