Islamabad police impose traffic restrictions ahead of further talks




Islamabad police have given notice to residents that restrictions will be in place due to “foreign delegations” visiting the capital - a further sign that potential talks will resume between Iran and the US in Islamabad. 

The police said they will implement a “red zone” that will close off all traffic in the area, a similar restriction imposed the last time talks took place in Pakistan.
