This is the second indictment against Khan, who faces a maximum of 14 years in prison if he is found guilty, complicating his attempts to contest in elections scheduled for late January.
A special court judge indicted the former premier and his foreign minister at the time, Shah Mahmood Qureshi, for violating the official Secrets Act by leaking a classified cable sent from Pakistan’s ambassador in Washington to Islamabad early last year, Khan’s lawyer, Shoaib Shaheen, said by phone.
