Mujahideen Shura (North Waziristan)
Operating chiefly in Waziristan and the FATA, the Mujahideen Shura Council[1] was a “10-member committee of tribal elders, clerics and administration officials” set up to negotiate processes between the Pakistani government and Taliban forces.[2][3]
It was founded in June 2003, following an audiotape released by Mullah Omar granting the leadership legitimacy.[4]
