ISLAMABAD -- The militant group Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan, commonly known as the Pakistani Taliban, has resumed terrorist attacks after declaring an end to a monthlong cease-fire on Dec. 9, accusing the government of not fulfilling its promises, including the release of key TTP leaders from jail.
The agreement -- brokered by the Taliban, who have ruled neighboring Afghanistan since August -- had given Islamabad a respite for a month from attacks waged by the TTP, the country's most feared terrorist group, which has chalked up hundreds of attacks on military and civilian targets in the past.
