MIRANSHAH: The Taliban on Monday agreed to cease anti-government attacks after a three-member Tablighi delegation asked local mujahideen to not attack during tablighi congregations starting on May 4. The Tablighis said their talks with the local Taliban were successful, and they had announced a truce till May 11. They said they expected cooperation from the government as well, in that it would not launch any attacks and relax a curfew. Clashes between militants and security forces have killed 324 militants and 56 soldiers since July 2005. |
