The JUI-F, which has been negotiating peace between two warring militant organisations in the Tirah Valley, said on Monday that a grand jirga would be held in Peshawar on July 17 to decide a truce. JUI-F NWFP General Secretary Shujaul Mulk, who led a delegation to the Tribal Areas to negotiate with the chiefs of the LI and the AI, told a press conference, "The JUI-F is optimistic about the outcome of the jirga from the way militant commanders received the JUI-F delegation." He said the jirga, which was previously scheduled to be held in the Hangu district, would be held in Peshawar due to the law and order situation in the valley. Separately, three more people were killed in clashes between the LI and the AI for the 19 consecutive day, bringing the toll to 115, Dawn News reported.
