Militants based in Afghanistan have been attacking Pakistan incessantly. Security forces are also constantly attempting to contain the menace of terrorism particularly in thr provinces of Balochistan and KP. For instance, recently, the Militants tried to infiltrate Pakistan near Ghaki in Kurram District (where ten militants were killed) and Spinwam in North Waziristan District (where 15 militants were gunned down). The two operations claimed lives of five soldiers identified as Havaldar Manzoor Hussain (35, District Ghizar), Sepoy Nauman Ilyas Kiyani (23, District Poonch), Sepoy Muhammad Adil (24, District Kasur), Sepoy Shah Jehan (25, District Vehari), and Sepoy Ali Asghar (25, District Pak Pattan).
Maintaining that TTP, BLA, and its suicide (Majeed) brigade, were utilizing weapons left behind by US troops, fleeing posthaste from Afghanistan, in the month of April Pakistan has called for a global crackdown on flow of arms to terrorists. Syed Atif Raza, counsellor at Pakistan’s permanent mission to United Nations, while speaking at a United Nations Security Council Arria-formula meeting on Small Arms & Light Weapons Management in UN Sanctions Regimes, held here insinuated that such terrorists were also receiving external support and funding from India.
He said that: “Terrorist armed groups are in possession of billions worth of illicit arms abandoned in Afghanistan. “We call upon our international partners to recover the vast stockpile of abandoned weapons, prevent their access to armed terrorist groups and take measures to close this thriving black market of illicit arms.” Atif Raza said militants were exploiting ungoverned spaces in Afghanistan to launch operations targeting both civilians and security forces in Pakistan.
