Pakistan TV host Mir shot by gunmen

POLICE in Pakistan say gunmen have shot a famous television talk show host amid a wave of attacks on journalists in the country.

Karachi police chief Shahid Hayat told Geo that Mir suffered three gunshot wounds to the stomach and the upper legs, but was expected to survive.

Last year, authorities found a bomb under Mir's car.
