ISLAMABAD (Reuters) -A Pakistan high court on Monday quashed terrorism charges against former Prime Minister Imran Khan, his defence lawyers said, a relief for the former cricket star who has faced a spate of legal woes since being ousted from office.

The court said Khan's alleged offence didn't attract terrorism charges, Faisal Chaudhry, one of his lawyers told Reuters.
