Extremists not in favour of dialogue: minister
 [Dawn] Provincial Information Minister of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa... formerly NWFP, still Terrorism Central... (KP) Iftikhar Hussain on Tuesday said that rise in the recent terrorism activities in the region is due to the internal conflicts between the hard boys, DawnNews reported. The KP minister was addressing the oath-taking ceremony of khyber union of journalists in Beautiful Downtown Peshawar. He said that the talks between the US and the Taliban have created confusion among the hard boys. 'The government is ready for all kinds of talks but the beturbanned goons are not supportive of it rather they have continued their ill-intended activities to gain importance.' he added He said that according to the new policy operation would be conducted in the tribal areas as well as settled areas. Hussain said that if Pakistain, Afghanistan and US collectively address the issue and come up with a joint strategy, only then extremism could be eliminated from this region.
