Evidence of the use of foreign weapons brought from Afghanistan in terrorist attacks in Pakistan again came to light.
According to security sources, the Pakistani army has been fighting the war of terrorism against the Tehrik Taliban Pakistan (TTP) for the past two decades. Weapons are also available.
The supply of arms to TTP has caused significant damage to the security of the region, especially as terrorism has increased in Pakistan.
The Baloch Liberation Army also attacked FC camps in Nushki and Panjgur districts in February 2022, using the same weapons. TTP also used American weapons in the July 12, 2023 attack on Zhob Garrison. On September 2023, TTP terrorists armed with the latest American weapons attacked two army check posts in Chitral.
In the Mianwali Air Base attack on November 4, the weapons recovered from the terrorists were foreign-made, including RPG-7, AK-74, M-4 and M-16/A4 were used on December 12 in Dera Ismail Khan. Night vision goggles and American rifles were also used by the terrorists in the terrorist attack in Daraban area.
In the terrorist incident in Tank on December 15, modern American weapons were found with the terrorists. In the attack, 3 policemen were martyred and 5 Terrorists went to hell, terrorists used M16/A2, HE Grenades, AK-47.
On December 13, customs and security forces recovered modern American weapons from a vehicle coming from Afghanistan to Pakistan. Arms were covered in sacks of onions. The weapons included modern American made M4, American rifle, grenades.
Pakistan’s smuggling of advanced American weapons from Afghanistan and the TTP’s use of American weapons against the security forces and the Pakistani people are a big question mark on the claims of the Afghan Transitional Government not to use them against its own land, Pakistan.
According to Eurasian Times, US-made weapons are also being used in the operations of TTP terrorists in Pakistan.
Pentagon said the U.S. delivered a total of 427,300 combat weapons to the Afghan military, with 300,000 remaining at the time of withdrawal, which has seen a massive increase in terrorism in the region over the past two years.
United States provided $18.6 billion in equipment to the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces between 2005 and August 2021. These weapons helped the TTP carry out cross-border terrorist attacks after the U.S. withdrawal.
All these facts indicate that the Afghan regime is not only arming the TTP but also providing a safe haven for other terrorist organizations.
