Pro-Taliban tribals have extended a ceasefire with Pakistani forces for two weeks in a restive tribal region on the Afghan border, Government officials said on Saturday as reported by Reuters.

The tribals announced a month-long ceasefire in June to allow tribal elders to try to end the conflict in North Waziristan, where hundreds of people have been killed in battles between security forces and tribals over the past year.

The truce was extended for another month in late July.

"The ceasefire has been extended once again to give more time to tribal elders to broker a peace," said a provincial government official in North West Frontier Province. He declined to be identified.
