Taliban forced to shut office

PESHAWAR: The government forced local Taliban to close down their two-day-old office in Miranshah, a spokesman for the Governor’s FATA Secretariat revealed in a press statement. He said that though the tribesmen clarified that the office “was not set up to run a parallel administration” in the agency, the issue still remained in the media. The spokesman added, “This measure of closing down the office proves that the tribesmen are fully committed to implementing the peace accord in letter and spirit.” The office was “in fact, opened as an internal arrangement to ensure implementation of the peace accord between local tribesmen and the administration”, he said. iqbal khattak
