Here's something that doesn't happen every day!

THE family of a Scottish grandfather being held in a Pakistani prison have accused the British government of failing him, after he was shot in the back by a prison guard.
Mohammad Asghar, 70, from Edinburgh, was sentenced to death in January for blasphemy after his arrest in 2010 for sending a series of letters in which he claimed to be the prophet Muhammad.
He is currently being held in Adiala Prison in Rawalpindi, where he was yesterday shot by someone understood to be a prison guard or police officer. His condition is said to be stable, but his family said they were “extremely distressed” by what had happened.
