Committee to mediate between Taliban, govt
A 15-member peace committee of the Mehsud tribe will step up mediation to defuse tension between the Baitullah Mehsud-led Taliban and the South Waziristan political administration, a tribal mediator said on Friday. "We have decided to play a role in defusing the tension," Senator Saleh Shah told reporters. "We are contacting the Taliban in this regard," he added. The committee members had suspended peace efforts following clashes between the Taliban and the security forces.
