A large quantity of US-made weapons were seized at Pakistan-Afghanistan border, just a day after a terrorist attack claimed the lives 23 soldiers in Dera Ismail Khan, as Khyber Pakhtunkhwa grapples with a worsening law and order situation.
Customs officials and security forces foiled the last arms trafficking bid at Torkham – a border town and crossing point located around 55 kilometres west of Peshawar – after earlier reports made it clear that the US weapons are being used in terror activities in Pakistan.
A variety of weapons – including military-grade assault rifles like M4, night vision equipment, laser devices and thousands of rounds – are among the items recovered from a vehicle which was seemingly transporting onions.
