PAKISTAN-UNREST-PEACE-TALIBAN

Members of a committee from Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) which was set up to hold talks with the government of Pakistan, chief cleric of Islamabad's Red Mosque, Maulana Abdul Aziz (R) and two senior religious party leaders, Maulana Sami-ul-Haq (C) and Professor Ibrahim Khan (L) speak with media representatives in Islamabad on February 4, 2014. Negotiators for the Pakistani Taliban said that government representatives had refused to show up for planned peace talks, citing confusion over the militants' team. The two sides had been due to gather in Islamabad at 2:00 pm (0900 GMT) to chart a "roadmap" for talks, amid a surge in militant violence and scepticism about the chances of reaching a negotiated peace.
