Pakistan arrests cleric who brokered Swat peace deal

Pakistan has arrested a pro-Taliban cleric, Sufi Mohammad, for helping militants and undermining the government's anti-terrorism campaign in a northwestern region. The hard-line Pakistani religious leader, Sufi Mohammad, went missing three months ago when the military launched a major offensive to flush out Taliban militants from the northwestern valley of Swat and several neighboring districts. In February this year, Sufi Mohammad negotiated a peace deal with the government to end violence in and around Swat.
