PAKISTAN: Pakistani police on Monday arrested scores more supporters of former prime minister Imran Khan for attacking officers over the weekend outside an Islamabad court where the ousted premier was to appear on graft charges, officials said.

Meanwhile, a rocket hit a vehicle carrying Mr Khan’s supporters in the country’s north-west, killing 10 people.

The arrests were the latest amid legal cases facing Khan, now opposition leader, since his ousting in a no-confidence vote in parliament last April.
