ISLAMABAD — Pakistan's prime minister said Thursday that talks with the domestic arm of the Taliban have started, though he gave no details about who was taking part or what was on the agenda.
Nawaz Sharif's comments came during a meeting in London with the British deputy prime minister and were released in a statement by the Pakistani High Commission there.
The prime minister said the government "could not wait and see the innocent people and members of law enforcement agencies being killed in the streets of Pakistan."
