| At least 18 militants from the Mattani and Adezai areas surrendered to the Peshawar police at the police lines here on Saturday. The militants surrendered after three days of negotiations between the elders of the area and the city police. The militants took oath on the Quran to co-operate with the police and the government. According to a statement issued here, City Police Chief Dr Muhammad Sulaiman Khan asked those present on the occasion to work for peace in the area. It was decided that law enforcement agencies would take action against those who violate the deal. It was not clear whether the militants had surrendered conditionally, nor was it known if there were any cases pending against the militants. The city police chief was not available for comments. |
