In today’s episode of the Tribune Take we look at the alleged peace talks being held between Pakistani authorities and the Taliban. 

Earlier today, unidentified attackers in Abbottabad fired rockets at a military academy, damaging its outer wall in a major security breach.

Naveed Hussain, The Express Tribune’s national pages editor, says this attack clearly bears the signature of the Pakistan Taliban group Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).

Hussain says for there to be peace in Pakistan's tribal regions and Khyber Pakhtunwa there has to be peace negotiations in Afghanistan.

Without peace across the border the Pakistan Taliban are not likely to cease their attacks any time soon, he says.
