Jammu, Apr 19: Recovery of a consignment of 10 pistols has substantiated the reports that terrorists are facing a shortage of weapons so they are using pistols instead of assault rifles in terror attacks.

The team also recovered five grenades. According to the police, a huge cache of arms and ammunition including 10 pistols, 17 pistol magazines, 54 pistol rounds, and five grenades, were recovered from Hajam Mohallah of Taad Karnah.
According to statement issued by the police, “apparently, it looks like a new consignment smuggled for terrorist activities in Kashmir Valley, however timely action of Police and local Army has enabled the Security forces to thwart nefarious designs of the adversary of committing innocent killings at the hands of terrorists in the Valley”.
Reports said that forces deployed in Jammu and Kashmir have recovered more pistols than AK-47s in recent time. Sources said that the terrorist organizations are facing a shortage of weapons which forced them to use pistols instead of assault rifles.
Reports said that terrorists who hold senior posts in terror outfits are getting AK-47s but young recruits are mainly given pistols. The use of pistols is frequent due to the shortage of assault guns.
In the recent selective killings of unarmed cops and citizens, terrorists used pistols and attacked victims from the point-blank range.

There have been cases where terrorists were caught with pistols alive and when asked, he said that he doesn't know how to use a pistol. There is a shortage of weapons as well lack of training due to which terrorists are using pistols frequently. |
