Pakistani tribal elders arrive in Kabul for talks with TTP

A 17-member delegation of tribal elders arrived in Kabul on Saturday to resume peace talks with the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).

This comes after a team of senior religious scholars returned to Pakistan this week after negotiations in Afghanistan with the TTP leadership, Dawn News reported.

The eight-member ulema delegation was led by Mufti Taqi Usmani.

Dawn News reported a source privy to the ulema’s delegation claimed Usmani was able to convince the militant group that he had reviewed Pakistan’s Constitution and there was nothing in there which could be construed as un-Islamic.
