Sanaullah rubbishes Fawad's claim, says Imran Khan was attacked by only one shooter.

ISLAMABAD -- Categorically rejecting Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Senior Vice-President Fawad Chaudhry's yesterday's claim, Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah on Thursday insisted that only one shooter - Naveed - who was also a 'religious fanatic' was involved in the attempted assassination on PTI chief Imran Khan.

A day earlier, Sanaullah said that the government could reengage in negotiations with the TTP if the proscribed militant group won't challenge the state's writ.

"If the TTP decides to come under the ambit of the...
