Islamabad, July 26 - A radical Islamic cleric who brokered a peace deal with the Taliban in Pakistan and went missing during a military offensive has resurfaced in Peshawar city, media reports said Sunday.

Tehreek-e-Nifaz-e-Shariat-e-Muhammadi (TNSM) chief Sufi Mohammad was seen Saturday for the first time since the military operation was launched April 26.

He was caught on camera by a TV channel, which showed him at a TNSM meeting in Peshawar.

Sufi had 'trimmed and dyed his beard red to keep his identity a secret', a TNSM supporter told the Daily Times Sunday.

TNSM will be deciding its future course of action at a Central Executive Committee (Shura) meeting to be held soon. This was decided Saturday at a Shura presided over by Sufi Mohammad, Dawn News reported Sunday.

Sufi Mohammad had been residing in a rented house in Peshawar's Sethi Town area.
