Are you talking about the "Waziristan Accords"? Because I heard that's what ended the war in Waziristan in about 2005/2006.

I read once that the reason there are not more operations in the tribal areas is because that would overstretch the Pakistani army, and then the militants would escape into large Pakistani cities and start attacking in the cities. Do you think this is true??

Militants ambushed a convoy of vehicles carrying members of an anti-Taliban Shia tribe in Kurram, killing eight and wounding five, tribesmen and government officials said.
The militants also kidnapped nearly 40 people after the attack on the convoy near Bagan, a militant stronghold in the region of Kurram, where Pakistani troops have killed several hundred insurgents in fighting in the past few years.
“It was the convoy of five buses that came under attack in which eight people were killed and five wounded,” tribal leader Haji Yousaf told Reuters.
Another elder, Abid-ul-Hussaini, said militants also took with them about 40 passengers and set fire to two buses.

Those killed belonged to the Turi tribe in the Kurram region, whose people have blocked Taliban militants from the Haqqani network – one of the most dangerous Taliban factions – from using their territory to cross into Afghanistan.
Hundreds of people have been killed in clashes between the Turi and their Taliban-backed rivals in recent months.
There have been attempts by Taliban to strike peace deals with the Turi tribe that could give them access to remote strategic areas on the Afghan border.
Government officials in the region confirmed the attack but said they did not have any details about the kidnapping.
The convoy was travelling from Peshawar to Kurram.
