AFP reports: “Pakistani and Afghan officials and tribal leaders agreed Tuesday to make contact with Taliban militants in an attempt to end the raging insurgent violence along their porous border. The declaration came after two days of talks in Islamabad aimed at finding a lasting solution to the unrest which has wracked the region since the US-led toppling of Afghanistan’s Taliban regime in 2001.”

Aljazeera English reports on the Pushtun (Pathan) refugees from Bajaur and other tribal agencies displaced to camps near Peshawar.
