Pakistani Taliban End Ceasefire -- Voice of America
ISLAMABAD, PAKISTAN — Islamist militants in Pakistan, referred to as the Pakistani Taliban, have formally ended a 40-day cease-fire that they called to engage in peace talks with the government. The move has raised fears of renewed suicide bombings and terrorist attacks in the country.
The outlawed Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan -- a loose alliance of militant outfits -- began observing the cease-fire on March 1. It expired about a week ago.
The ceasefire led to a reduction in militant violence in the country and facilitated one round of direct talks between government negotiators and Taliban leaders.
Moreover, authorities recently claimed to have released a group of low-level non-combatant Taliban prisoners to further the peace process.
