Armed group extends truce with government for 10 days day after 19 Taliban detainees are released.

The Pakistani Taliban has extended a March ceasefire until April 10, a spokesman said, following the release of a batch of low-level prisoners by the Pakistani government.

"We announce to extend the ceasefire till April 10 and TTP directs all Mujahideen to suspend their actions against government and security forces," spokesman Shahidullah Shahid said in a statement on Friday.
