No more truce?

Taliban commander, Mullah Nazir, was killed by American missiles Wednesday, December 2nd in South Waziristan. Officials are saying that this ally could turn even worse than it already is because Nazir was looking to make a truce with Islamabad. Because of the peace treaty between Pakistan and Islamabad, they were going to focus on mainly attacking Afghanistan, but hte U.S. who is allied with Islamabad, nearly destroyed that. "They will be furious. This shows they are no longer on the same page with the Americans," says Saifullah Khan Mehsud, an executive director for Fata. (Federally Administered Tribal Areas)
