Pakistan deal gives region to rebels { September 6 2006 } Original Source Link: (May no longer be active)    http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nationworld/2003245424_terrordig06.html http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nationworld/2003245424_terrordig06.html Wednesday, September 6, 2006 - Page updated at 12:00 AM Pakistan deal gives region to rebels PESHAWAR, Pakistan — The Pakistani government signed a peace accord with Islamic rebels Tuesday that leaves the groups — who call themselves Taliban and are closely allied with the Afghan Taliban movement — in effective control of most of the border region of Waziristan. The deal demands that militants halt attacks on Pakistani forces in the semiautonomous North Waziristan region and stop crossing into eastern Afghanistan to attack U.S. and Afghan forces hunting al-Qaida and Taliban remnants. Pakistani troops will also stop their unpopular military campaign in this restive region, which has left more than 350 soldiers dead, along with hundreds more militants and scores of civilians. Thousands of Pakistani troops were deployed there after the U.S.-led invasion of Afghanistan in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. Osama bin Laden is believed to be hiding along the porous Pakistani-Afghan frontier. ABC News quoted Pakistani Maj. Gen. Shaukat Sultan Khan as saying bin Laden "would not be taken into custody" under the deal "as long as one is being like a peaceful citizen." White House officials could not immediately confirm the reports but doubted Pakistan would give bin Laden free rein.
