            Pakistan's Imran Khan Recovering in Hospital after Fall

   Pakistani politician and former cricketer Imran Khan is recovering in
   the hospital after a fall that essentially ends his public campaigning
   in the run-up to elections this Saturday.
   Doctors treated the leader of the Pakistan Movement for Justice party
   for injuries to his head and back after he fell more than four meters
   Tuesday from a raised platform at an election rally in Lahore.
   Khan`s injuries are not life-threatening, but doctors say they have
   advised the 60-year-old politician to stay in bed and rest for about a
   week.
   A televised statement that Khan gave overnight from his hospital bed
   urged people to vote for his PTI party in the May 11 elections.
   This week`s vote will mark a democratic milestone in a country ruled
   for half of its history by the military. It will be the first time a
   civilian government has served a full term and handed power to another
   through the ballot box.
