The Army’s talks with Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) have remained shrouded in secrecy. For others in KP who had opposed the TTP and were on the hit list of the terrorist network any possibility of general amnesty for the TTP was a perturbing idea. In June a meeting on national security attended by the civil and military leadership, decided that the talks with the proscribed TTP would be held only under the framework of the Constitution. However secrecy continues to prevail regarding agreements reached with the terrorist network. Recently terrorist attacks have taken place in Swat, Mardan, North Waziristan South Waziristan and parts of Balochistan, like Harnai, bordering Afghanistan.
