Jammu, May 23: Recovery of a huge cache of weapons from three terrorists of The Resistance Force (TRF) by Srinagar Police has revealed that terrorists preferred pistols in place of AK-47 rifles.
Srinagar police on Monday arrested two-hybrid terrorists of The Resistance Front (TRF) and seized a huge cache of weapons. Arms recovered from the arrested terrorists included 15 pistols, 30 magazines, 300 rounds and one silencer recovered. Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Kashmir zone, Vijay Kumar said that two hybrid terrorists of TRF were arrested from the Chanapora area.
According to police arrested terrorists were planning target killings as 15 pistols were recovered from their possession which are to be used in hit and run cases.
First time in the last couple of years, such a huge consignment of weapons has been recovered from the possession of the terrorists active in Kashmir Valley.
As part of their evil designs, terrorists are using pistols instead of AK-47 rifles to execute selective and targeted killings of cops and members of the minority community in Kashmir Valley.
Reports said that forces deployed in Jammu and Kashmir have recovered more pistols than AK-47s in recent times. 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. On April 19, 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 in Kupwara district in north Kashmir on the Line of Control (LoC). |
