ISLAMABAD: The Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) on Sunday warned of a plot hatched within the country and abroad to sabotage the nascent peace negotiations between the government and the Taliban. Speaking for his JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman, the party’s spokesperson Jan Achakzai said Sunday’s attack in Upper Dir, which claimed the lives of three army officers including a major general and a lieutenant colonel, was part of a bigger conspiracy. “It is an attempt to keep the army engaged in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) forever. There are conspirators inside Pakistan and abroad who do not want to see the talks succeed,” said Achakzai.
