Pakistan’s custom authorities claim to have seized a large cache of US-made weapons and ammunition worth approximately Rs35 million ($125,000) at the Torkham border crossing with Afghanistan in northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. According to Pakistani security sources the weapons seized included M4 rifles and magazines. “The recent seizure of US-made weapons raises concerns about potential Taliban support for TTP (Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan), either directly or indirectly, as a strategic move to pressure Pakistan or assert influence in the region,” the sources said.Pakistan has continued to accuse Afghanistan of facilitating militants, a claim the Islamic Emirate has vehemently denied.
The Islamic Emirate has repeatedly said it will not allow anyone to threaten another country’s security from within Afghanistan.“The rising activity of terrorist groups in Afghanistan risks destabilizing the entire region, potentially leading to increased violence, displacement, and economic hardship,” Arab News quoted one source as saying.Pakistan has seen a rise in militant attacks, mostly in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa by the TTP and other militant groups, which have targeted security forces convoys and check posts, and carried out targeted killings and kidnappings of law enforcers and government officials in recent months.Arab News quoted another security source who warned: “Afghanistan’s situation has far-reaching implications for international security.“The presence of terrorist groups and IAG’s (interim Afghan government) persistent denial of the reality could fuel global terrorism and threaten regional stability.”The post Pakistan seizes large cache of US-made weapons at border with Afghanistan first appeared on Ariana News.
