Startling revelations have come to light in the aftermath of the recent attack on Mianwali air base, where terrorists used foreign weapons, raising concerns about their origin and availability.
During the attack on Mianwali air base, the terrorists were found to be armed with non-domestic weapons, shedding light on the international implications of the incident.
The weapons seized from the terrorists were of American make, a fact that has sent shockwaves through security circles.
The arsenal confiscated from the militants included RPG-7, AK-74, M-4, and M-16/A4 rifles, all of which are of American manufacture.
It has been disclosed that American-manufactured firearms are openly available in Afghanistan, and terrorists have easy access to them, according to experts.
A significant quantity of American-made weapons is reported to be widely available in Afghanistan, and these arms are being used by terrorists against Pakistan.
This highlights the concerns about the utilization of foreign territories against Pakistan and the potential misuse of American-supplied weapons in the hands of insurgents post the American withdrawal from Afghanistan.
In the past, American weapons and equipment have been employed in the Zhob cantonment attack as well.
The Afghan interim government faces the immense challenge of preventing the use of their territory by terrorists.
The revelation of foreign-manufactured weaponry raises questions about the security landscape in the region and the need for international cooperation to address this pressing issue.
