Junior interior minister Talal Chaudhry said Iqbal was hit by a bullet in his arm in the attack in Narowal district, his constituency in central Punjab province. “The minister luckily survived. Thank God he is out of danger,” Chaudhry said. Militant attacks in Pakistan have fallen sharply over the past few years, but Islamist militants continue to pose a threat and carry out assassinations. In the past politically motivated attacks have also been a feature of political life in Pakistan.
