Peace deal signing in Waziristan today
By Iqbal Khattak
PESHAWAR: Key Taliban commanders, members of the grand tribal jirga and senior administration officials will meet in Miranshah today (Tuesday) to sign a peace deal, a jirga member told Daily Times on Monday.
“The jirga’s final decision will be read out to the key Taliban leaders who will then sign it,” the member, asking not to be named, told Daily Times on the phone from Miranshah. Maulana Gul Bahadar Khan and Maulana Sadiq Noor, key Taliban commanders in North Waziristan, will sign the treaty at the governor’s cottage in the presence of jirga members and senior administration officials, he added.
The jirga member said that the details of the peace deal were likely to be released to the media when the jirga members and Taliban commanders meet NWFP Governor Ali Muhammad Jan Orakzai in Peshawar later this week. “We hope the jirga will hold its last meeting with the governor in Peshawar on September 8 (Friday),” he said.
