Aziz said the grinding of the peace processor had been on hold since Mehsud's killing and that the negotiations had been badly affected by the November 1 drone strike. The foreign affairs adviser said the US has now assured that no drone strikes would be carried out during any peace talks. However,

the senators questioned the promise made by the US about halting drone strikes if Pakistain re-started peace negotiations with the TTP.
