As I said, this is one of the most often repeated lies of Taliban apologists.
Although I do not think Shakai agreement was a peace treaty, in my opinion, it was a shameful surrender by our government, but that discussion is for some other time.
I'm going to debunk this crap (that American drone killed the so-called peace agreement) step by step.
So, here I go:
First of all, Shakai agreement was not signed on March 27, in fact, it was signed on April 24, 2004.
Nek Muhammad and his fellow terrorists were given amnesty on the condition that they will surrender foreign terrorists that they were sheltering and supporting to the government of Pakistan with in a weeks time. A
The United States welcomed the agreement:

‘Gen Hussain said the foreign militants had until April 30 to surrender and receive a pardon or he would send troops after them. He also announced the release of 50 tribesmen arrested last month. The corps commander said others who were found innocent would also be freed. Gen Hussain announced Rs 90.1 million for development in Waziristan.”
“US Lieutenant Colonel Matt Beevers told a news briefing in Kabul he welcomed the negotiated settlement in Shakai.”
Taliban are not just blood thirsty barbarians but are also notorious liars and Nek Muhammad was no exception, not only did he fail to surrender the foreign terrorists but the liar out rightly denied that he had made any such promise.
Even though the government had given the scumbag one week to surrender foreign terrorist but waited almost for two months before it rightfully decided to revoke the amnesty deal, after the government’s announcement he declared war on Pakistan and attacked two military checkpoints, killing almost 30 security forces jawans.

The government has decided to ‘revoke’ the amnesty deal it made on April 24 with renegade Wazir tribesman Nek Mohammad and his four accomplices. We are told this decision has been taken because Nek Mohammad and his companions have failed to honour their word and get the foreign militants hiding in the South Waziristan area to register with the government. By all indications the government has merely done on its side what Nek Mohammad did a couple of weeks ago when he came to the Jirga in Wana and told the tribal elders that they should stay out of the business of searching out and getting the foreigners to register since they had absolutely no knowledge of the deal.
Since then, Nek Mohammad has declared war on the state and claimed responsibility for two attacks on military checkpoints in the area. Those attacks have already resulted in more than 30 casualties.
On June 18, 2004 ISPR Director-General Maj-Gen Shaukat Sultan told the media that Nek Mohammad was killed by the security forces, and when he was asked that there ware rumors that he was killed by the Americans, he denied it and said it is “absolutely absurd”, but now the truth is out and everyone knows that he was killed by a drone, quite frankly, Gen saheb was lying, but can't blame him for that lying and deception is part of war propaganda.
Now we also know that it was actually Pakistan who got him killed by the American after reaching a deal with the United States.
Interestedly, Gen. Pervez Musharraf recently has also admitted that he was killed by an American drone and that Pakistan did take America's help in some operations.

Night raid kills Nek, four other militants: Wana operation
19 June 2004
"We have various means and a full array of weapons at our disposal. We have artillery that can fire with precision and we have helicopters with night vision capability which can fire guided missiles. But I am not going to give out operational secrets on how he was killed," ISPR Director-General Maj-Gen Shaukat Sultan told Dawn by phone from Islamabad.
"Absolutely absurd," was his response when asked about rumours that Nek Mohammad had been killed with the US assistance. "Intelligence is like a jigsaw puzzle, it does not come from a single source on a single time," Gen Sultan said.”

Speaking to former Pakistani President Musharraf, CNN reports on a secret drone deal Pakistan had with the U.S.
“Musharraf said that one of those killed by U.S. drones was Nek Mohammed, a tribal leader accused of harboring al Qaeda militants in Pakistan's western border region. At the time, in June 2004, Pakistan intelligence sources said Mohammed died after Pakistani forces launched a missile at a house where he was staying.”
So, how many of you still believe that the American drone killed the peace?
Now, I would like to briefly comment on Wali-ur-Rehman, when the Pakistani establishment was spreading rumors that there was a split between him and Mehsud and that he wanted peace with Pakistan, on February 2013 he appeared in a video with Hakimullah Mehsud and reaffirmed his loyalty to him and then both of them praised Al Qaeda and its global jihad, and again on May 14, 2013 in a video message he strongly condemned democracy in Pakistan.
So does that sounds a message of a peaceful man or a message of a global terrorist?
All the circumstances evidence shows that his killing was a joint venture between US and Pakistan and the time will prove this.
