Several Swat Taliban still in Buner, peace Jirga underway

BUNER: The officials have confirmed the presence of Taliban still over here, while local elders besides the representatives of the political parties and Tahrik-e-Nifaz Shariat Muhammadi (TNSM) are engaged in the ongoing national peace Jirga at Sawari College Ground here.Sources said that Taliban were also invited to attend this parley, but thus far no one from them came for attending, which is perhaps due to evacuation of Taliban from Buner. On the other hand, sources said that Taliban have holed up in the mountains of Buner and keeping a surveillance on the movements of the security forces.
