Karachi: A Pakistani opposition lawmaker was shot and wounded today in an attack in Karachi, police said.

"Mr Rashid has suffered multiple gunshot wounds. He is being treated at a private hospital," Deputy Inspector General Munir Shaikh said, adding that Mr Rashid's driver was killed in the attack.
The MQM dominates Karachi politics but recently has been targeted by law enforcement over allegations of extortion and violence in Pakistan's largest city.
