US drones hover over tribal belt as TTP, govt talk in NWA





ISLAMABAD: As the government committee and the Taliban leadership hold direct talks in North Waziristan, US drones started hovering over the tribal belt considered to be the safe haven of the most feared terror outfit on Wednesday.

The flights of unmanned CIA operated drones in North Waziristan come hours after Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif hailed the 90-day pause in US drone strikes.

The pro-talks lobby in Pakistan has been blaming Washington for sabotaging Islamabad’s earlier efforts to engage the militants in negotiations to put an to the bloodshed which saw over 40000 people being killed across the country.

Government of Pakistan had also strongly condemned US after drones killed TTP chief Hakimullah Mehsud in the past.
