Pakistan

The Pakistani government has started peace talks in Khyber. An operation to clear an area in Mohmand near Peshawar has been put on hold. The Mohmand Taliban ordered women to wear a veil. A political party warned of the Taliban takeover of Karachi while a Shia group plastered anti-Taliban graffiti in the city.
