ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – The government negotiating committee has decided to cancel its scheduled meeting with Taliban committee following the killing of FC personnel.
The decision was taken to mark protest against the killing of FC personnel.
A faction of Banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (Mohmand Agency) on Sunday claimed the killing of 23 FC personnel who were kidnapped in June 2010 from Shoonkri Post in tribal region of Mohmand Agency.
In a video message, the TTP Mohmand Agency spokesman Omar Khalid Khurasani said that the personnel of paramilitary Frontier Constabulary (FC) were killed to avenge the custodial killing of Taliban fighters in various parts of the country including Karachi, Peshawar and Swabi.
He said if the government doesn’t stop killing Taliban supporters, they would also continue to kill forces personnel.
Earlier, it was reported that two members of the government committee were set to leave for Miranshah to hold direct talks with the Taliban.
