LAHORE, Pakistan (AP) — Supporters of former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan have thrown bricks at police who fought back with clubs and tear gas for a second day after officers tried to arrest the ousted premier for failing to appear in court on graft charges. More than a hundred officers and scores of his supporters were reported injured in the violence. Khan is charged with illegally selling state gifts he had received while premier and concealing assets. His legal team has petitioned a high court in Islamabad for the suspension of the arrest warrant for Khan and a ruling is expected later Wednesday. By around 2 p.m., the clashes subsided and police stepped back, apparently in an effort to ease the tensions.
