Taliban pledges cease-fire in 2nd Pakistani region


KHAR, Pakistan – A Taliban commander has announced a unilateral cease-fire against government troops in a northwest Pakistan district.

The military was not immediately available for comment on the Taliban's move in Bajur district Monday.

The Pakistan has been engaged in a military offensive in Bajur for several months that it says has inflicted heavy casualties on the militants.

Last week, the government and militants agreed to a cease-fire in the Swat Valley, another northwestern region, in support of a peace process there.
