ISLAMABAD: A retired top general of the Pakistani army has died in a car accident near the garrison city of Rawalpindi.
A military statement says Gen. Khalid Shameem Wynne, former chairman of the country’s Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee, was killed Saturday when his car overturned near Chakri on an intercity highway.
Three other people in the car were critically injured and one died on the way to a hospital.
Wynne retired from the army in 2013 after serving in various command positions during 42 years of service. Before assuming the job as chairman of the joint chiefs, Wynne held field positions in Quetta from 2007 till 2010, overseeing the Baloch insurgency and fallout of the war against militants in the tribal regions along the Afghan border.

Three detained pro-Palestinian activists end hunger strike
- Thousands have since July been arrested for holding signs in support of Palestine Action
LONDON: Three pro-Palestinian activists detained in Britain ended their hunger strike on Wednesday, with some of them facing imminent death from the effects of their protest, campaign group Prisoners for Palestine said in a statement.
All of the hunger strikers have been charged with offenses allegedly carried out on behalf of Palestine Action, before the group was banned and designated a terrorist organization.
Two are in custody over alleged involvement in a break-in at an Israeli-linked defense firm last year. The other was one of several accused of breaching a military air base in central England and damaging two aircraft in protest against Britain’s support for Israel.
Palestine Action was banned in July, making it a crime to be a member. Thousands have since been arrested for holding signs in support of the group.
