Wasim Akram's car fired at; escapes unhurt

Pakistan’s legendary cricketer and former captain Wasim Akram on Wednesday escaped unhurt when an unidentified gunman opened fire at his car after a traffic collision in the city’s busy Karsaz area.

The 49-year-old Akram, one of the best left-arm fast bowlers ever to play the game, was on his way to National Stadium where he was to conduct a training camp for young fast bowlers.

“A car hit mine, I stopped him and then this guy stepped out and fired at my car. He was definitely an official, I have noted the number of the car and given it to the police,” Akram told a news channel.

“I am still in shock. There was no threat. I was going to to stadium for the camp. Your (media) job is to find out who that person was. If he can do it with me, then you can imagine what he would do with the common man,” Akram said.

The shot did not appear to be aimed at Akram, according to media reports.

Who would have wanted to kill Akram ???




Dudes i am real serious,not joking ..Can anyone recount on any recent mis deeds of his. ?

It doesn't sound like anyone wanted to kill Akram. Based on the way the incident is described, I'd guess that if the gunman had wanted to kill him, he'd have succeeded, or at least injured him. He was obviously pretty close, so I doubt he'd have missed him totally unless he didn't mean to hit him.

but why wud he shoot at Akram of all people :o :o :o :o :o :o :o

there are untouchable people by such events..or there shud be.  Akram would be one of them

Ahh Second that.
He was a good individual who refrained from any kind of provocative acts and that is what makes me suspect to why he was even attacked in the first place ? or was he wrongly targeted ?
