ISLAMABAD, November 26. /TASS/. At least 12 people, including ten law enforcement officers, have been killed in clashes during a protest rally organized by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI, or the Movement for Justice) opposition party in Islamabad, Geo TV reports.

A total of 12 fatalities have been reported, including several members of the Rangers corps, two police officers and one border guard. Over 100 police officers have been injured.
