After weeks of tense calm in volatile North Waziristan Agency (NWA), the Taliban on Wednesday announced to honour their peace accord with the government. The Taliban, led by Hafiz Gul Bahadur, issued a leaflet in Urdu language, pledging to abide by the peace accord. “We will keep our peace accord intact for the sake of our people and all the Muslims,” the Taliban explained in the leaflet. They denied any role in the recent strong-worded leaflets issued by some elements in North Waziristan against the government and the military authorities, accusing them of working for the interest of the US in the region. They also distanced themselves from remote-controlled bomb attacks on security forces in tribal region and termed them an act of the enemies of the North Waziristan residents.
