Pakistan releases up to 100 Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan prisoners as part of a truce with the militant group
A senior Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan commander based in eastern Afghanistan said the release was important as a confidence-building measure.
A security official in the city also confirmed the releases, from several prisons in the northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, and added that they would not be moved to Afghanistan. Seven years after the military cracked down on the movement, Islamabad is trying to quell a TTP comeback linked to the victory of the Afghan Taliban across the border.
