Families left behind as Taliban talks delayed

Pakistani Taliban negotiators have condemned the failure of government representatives to meet them in Islamabad.

Preliminary peace efforts got off to a chaotic start, after the government side asked for clarification about the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) team.

In January more than 100 people, including many soldiers, died in Taliban attacks across the country. Thousands have been killed in recent years.
