| Terrorists in Kashmir using arms, ammunition abandoned by NATO forces in Afghanistan | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Sept 29: While security agencies have already cautioned that Pakistani authorities are desperately trying to push Afghan returned terrorists on the Indian side of the Line of Control, the outgoing Director General of CRPF Kuldeep Singh on Thursday said that the number of foreign terrorists has increased after Taliban controlled Afghanistan.
He, however, said that the overall strength of terrorists in the Valley is low and can be capped below 200.
DG CRPF has given this statement when reports are originating that terrorists in Kashmir Valley are using arms and ammunition abandoned by NATO forces in Afghanistan.
Recently, security forces observed that terrorists used American armour piercing bullets during a couple of encounters. These bullets were abandoned by NATO forces in Afghanistan.
A news agency quoting official sources reported that these bullets were successful in piercing through the bulletproof jackets worn by the troops during encounters.
Reports said that some terrorists were also found using advanced night visions, which were made in Canada and this equipment was also part of the arms, and ammunition left by the NATO troops in Afghanistan.
Recently security agencies have cautioned that Pakistani authorities are desperately trying to push Afghan returned terrorists on the Indian side of the Line of Control (LoC).
“The launch pads across the LoC in Kashmir Valley are abuzz with activities of terrorists, believed to be Afghan returnee mercenaries, receiving training with a possible push expected during summer months”, a news agency had reported while quoting official sources.
The terror groups in the Kashmir Valley have reportedly managed some arms and ammunition left by the US army in Afghanistan. Recently a terror group released a video in which terrorists were brandishing American-made rifles and pistols.
Six foreign terrorists killed in Jammu and Kashmir in January this year were carrying US-made M4 carbine rifles.
Reports said that the leftover arms and ammunition are being sold openly by the Taliban in Afghanistan. Terror groups from Pakistan are buying these weapons and ammunition from the Taliban and sending them across the border to Kashmir Valley. |
