Security Forces Foil Arms Smuggling from Afghanistan to Pakistan

Ghulam Khan: The security forces, in a major achievement, have foiled a bid to smuggle a big cache of foreign-made arms from Afghanistan to Pakistan.

According to Radio Pakistan, the security forces captured an arms-laden truck at the Ghulam Khan Border Terminal adjacent to the Pakistan-Afghan border and recovered sophisticated foreign-manufactured weapons and magazines.

The confiscated arms include twenty-six M-16 Rifles, two hundred and ninety-two magazines of M-16 and M-4 Rifles, ten thousand bullets, nine magazines of Kalashnikov with two hundred forty-four bullets, seven hundred and forty-four bullets of Light Machine Gun, and a huge quantity of Linkers.

Sources added that packing of the arms in specially made compartments in the truck was carried out in Afghanistan. Sources further said that the seized weapons had to be used for carrying out terrorist activities in Pakistan. The open use of foreign-made arms is a testament that the Afghan soil is consistently being used for terrorism in Pakistan.
