The Federal Cabinet also passed

information more effective on federal and provincial levels.
TTP rejected the Government's
call for an unconditional ceasefire. "If this is what we have

Shahidullah said that TTP were
ready for the consequences of military operation. In a statement,
he said military operation will incur less loss to TTP and that
the rulers must fulfil their will for compiling the statistics.
The PUC asked all the militant
outfits including TTP to immediately stop suicide attacks and
bomb blasts and demanded that Sharif play his role for the success

is to expire on March 31. According to an insider, the TTP has
set two conditions for continuation of the peace talks. One is
the creation of a demilitarised peace zone in mountainous Shaktoi
in South Waziristan Agency of FATA, to allow freedom of movement
and two, the release of non-combatants.
The insider said the five-member
militants' committee sought written guarantees before they could
commit to an extension in the month-long ceasefire. "For nearly
seven hours, we talked to them about the destruction wrought by
over a decade of violence, the loss of lives and property and
displacement of people. We said 'let bygones be bygones, let's

prisoners have been released by the Government. However, there

The TTP had reportedly handed
a list of prisoners to the government demanding their release,
during different rounds of the peace talks. On the other hand,
the military establishment is opposed to the release of TTP prisoners,
both combatants and non-combatants, due to their alleged involvement

The TTP said they would not extend
a ceasefire called to help peace negotiations with the Government,
but insisted they were still committed to the talks process. The
TTP announced a one-month ceasefire at the start of March as the
Government sought a negotiated end to their bloody seven-year
insurgency. The TTP extended the ceasefire to April 10, but complained
there had been "complete silence" from the Government since then
and hinted that the military was trying to thwart talks.

While declaring that Mullah Fazlullah
remains loyal to the Ameer of the Afghan Taliban Mullah Mohammad
Omar, the TTP has said in a baffling announcement that "Shahidullah
Shahid had been replaced as the TTP 'spokesman' long ago and another
brother will be named later to replace him". Shahidullah Shahid
had abandoned the TTP on October 15, 2014 along with five other
TTP leaders while pledging allegiance to the Islamic State (IS)
led by Abu Bakar Al Baghdadi, the self-proclaimed Caliph.
The move came as a major setback
not only for Mullah Fazlullah but also for Mullah Mohammad Omar
and Dr Ayman Al Zawahiri. But Mullah Fazlullah, the fugitive TTP
Ameer, took five days to manage the issuance of a confusing statement
on his behalf, denying that the group's spokesman had defected
to the Islamic State, adding that Shahidullah Shahid is merely
a nom de guerre (fictitious name) that is shared by every TTP
spokesman. The statement added that the person who defected in
Shahidullah Shahid's name [and pledged allegiance to the Islamic
State] to is no longer a member of TTP.
The TTP statement, which was released
and produced by the Long War Journal, then claimed: "Long ago,
another brother had replaced Sheikh Maqbool as the TTP spokesman.
But we did not announce that due to our policy. Sheikh Maqbool,
who previously served as the group's spokesman, defected under
the name of Shahidullah Shahid, although he had no right to do
so as he was replaced long ago by another brother who will be
named at a later date". However, one wonders as to why the TTP
leadership is still not making public the name of the incumbent
group spokesman if he has already been appointed.
The bewildering TTP statement
added: "We want to make it clear that Sheikh Maqbool is not Shahidullah
Shahid and he is not our spokesman anymore." Strangely, the TTP
statement is also silent about five more TTP commanders who had
pledged allegiance to the Islamic State along with Sheikh Maqbool
including Saeed Khan, the TTP chief in Orakzai Agency Hafiz Quran
Dolat, the TTP chief in Kurram Agency Gul Zaman, the TTP chief
