Taliban hint at truce with Sharif govt

The banned Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan has said it would not rule out a ceasefire if Pakistan's new government "shows seriousness" about its offer of holding a dialogue. Spokesman Ihsanullah Ihsan said his group would come up with a positive response if the incoming government formed by the PML-N, which won the May 11 polls, takes the offer of talks seriously.
