Imran Khan gets bail in 12 cases 

Jailed former Pakistan premier and Tehreek-e-Insaf party founder Imran Khan has got bail in 12 cases linked to the May 9 attacks on military installations by his supporters following his arrest in an alleged corruption case.

Anti-terrorism Court Judge Malik Ejaz Asif granted bail to him after fulfilling a surety bond of ₹ 0.1 million in all 12 cases, including the General Headquarters (Pakistan Army) and Army Museum attack.

The court said there was no justification to keep Mr Khan, 71, under arrest as all accused in May 9 cases were on bail.
Mr Khan will remain in jail as he is convicted in many other cases.

The court's order came a day after independents backed by Mr Khan's party won nearly 100 seats in the National Assembly.
