KP govt ends peace deal with tribes
2013-08-12
The Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa government has ended a peace deal with local tribes in Kulachi district near Dera Ismail Khan in the wake of recent jailbreak that saw escape of 250 militants.
Good idea. When one side is shooting off their guns it's not much of a peace deal...
The security forces began conducting targeted operations in Kulachi and other surrounding areas after the deal was called off. Several suspects were also apprehended during the operations.

Kulachi shares its boundaries with areas including Waziristan and Frontier Region (FR) Peshawar where militancy is on the rise. The provincial government, on suspecting that the militants were entering D.I. Khan and other areas through Kulachi, had struck a deal with the local tribes who vowed to prevent militants from entering Kulachi.

The deal was struck off on Sunday in the wake of the recent D.I. Khan jailbreak in which Taleban fighters managed to free nearly 250 prisoners, including 49 high-profile militants.
