Pakistan readies a 15-point draft accord for ensuring peace with militants

New York, Apr 25 : The Pakistan government is learnt to have formulated a 15-point accord which calls upon the militants operating in the country’s tribal areas to immediately end militant activity. The 15-point draft accord also talks about exchange of prisoners in return for the gradual withdrawal of the Pakistani military from part of the tribal region of South Waziristan.

The draft accord is currently being negotiated by the government through tribal elders, and militant leader Baitullah Mehsud, whom the Musharraf regime had linked with Benazir Bhutto’s assassination. The accord orders Mehsud’s fighters to cease their activities in the tribal regions as well as the adjoining North-West Frontier Province, warning of strict punishment for any violations.
