#6: Taleban leader Mullah Omar purportedly approved the truce deal that ended fighting between Pakistani troops and tribal militants, a Pakistani political leader claimed Wednesday. A government official and militants rejected the claim. Latif Afridi, a lawyer and top official from the Awami National Party, claimed that Omar gave his go-ahead for the Sept. 5 cease-fire, which ended more than four years of harsh battling in the semiautonomous North Waziristan tribal region along the border. Afridi told The Associated Press that he has received a copy of a letter containing Omar’s approval and written by one of Omar’s aides, Mullah Akhtar Mohammed Osmani. “Osmani issued a letter on behalf of Mullah Omar approving this Waziristan agreement, and asking the Taleban in the area to stop fighting against the Pakistani army,” Afridi said. Afridi said the letter also alleged that pro-Taleban militants in North Waziristan would fall under the command of Jalaluddin Haqqani, a front-line Taleban commander who served briefly as tribal affairs minister. He too remains at large. Britain’s Telegraph newspaper on Sunday first reported on Omar’s purported role in the truce. It was not immediately possible to verify Afridi’s claims on the deal, which has raised concerns in some quarters that North Waziristan could become a haven for militants. He declined to make a copy of the letter available.
