In Pakistan’s tribal district of South Waziristan, the Taliban have assured the tribal elders that they will not target Pakistani security men deployed in the region.
“We have been assured by the Taliban that they would not target security forces in case they (the Taliban) are attacked by U.S. drones,” a tribal elder who was part of a meeting between the Taliban commanders and tribal elders last week told Daily Times on the condition of anonymity.
