The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan on Saturday said they would not attack the Pakistan Army in the Taliban stronghold of North Waziristan, but will concentrate attacks on NATO forces in Afghanistan instead.

Thousands of Pakistani soldiers are stationed in North Waziristan, along the Afghan border. There have been infrequent clashes there between the soldiers and Taliban but a leaflet issued by Taliban leader Hakimullah Mehsud ordered those to stop. A senior commander confirmed the pamphlet’s veracity, according to a foreign news agency.
