**Pakistan’s Minister for Religious Affairs, Hamid Saeed Kazmi, has been injured in a gun attack on his car in the capital, Islamabad, police say.**A man believed to be Mr Kazmi’s driver was killed in the attack and another passenger injured, said police.
No one has claimed to have carried out the attack. Mr Kazmi has been an outspoken critic of the Taliban.
He was behind a conference in May which denounced the Taliban’s suicide bombing tactics as un-Islamic.
“Gunmen sprayed bullets on the minister’s car,” a police officer who identified himself as Qasim told Reuters news agency.
Television footage showed Mr Kazmi, with a wounded leg, being taken away in an ambulance. There were blood stains on the car’s seats and its windows were shattered.
Government hospital chief Shaukat Hameed Kiani said Mr Kazmi’s leg had been fractured by a bullet.
“His condition is stable, but he is in a state of shock,” he said.
