PESHAWAR: Pakistan began investigating Monday the detained cleric who brokered a failed peace deal that put three million people under sharia law but was shattered by renewed Taliban fighting.
Sufi Mohammad, father-in-law of the Taliban cleric who masterminded a two-year uprising that ravaged the Swat valley, was arrested Sunday on the outskirts of Peshawar.
‘The federal government has set up an investigation team of security agencies and Sufi Mohammad will be formally charged on the basis of its findings,’ said Arshad Abdullah, law minister in North West Frontier Province.
‘The investigation is under way,’ he told AFP.
