NORTH WAZIRISTAN: A meeting of the Tehreek-i-Taliban (TTP) Shura is underway at an undisclosed location in North Waziristan on Monday, DawnNews reported.

The meeting is expected to make a formal announcement regarding the extension of a ceasefire.

Earlier, the committees representing the government and the Taliban had agreed on Saturday to extend the ceasefire and take measures to speed up the dialogue process.
