Islamabad:
The security forces arrested four Afghan terrorists in a successful operation near the border areas of Pakistan-Afghanistan in Balutchistan and seized a huge cache of weapons and ammunition, including Kalashnikov rifles, hand grenades and other firearms, sources announced on Thursday.
They said the operation was carried out on Wednesday in the Toba Kakri region, adding that the arrested terrorists had confessed to Pakistan through the border and had a great terrorist attack in the country.
In his declaration of confession, according to the sources, an arrested terrorist gave his name as an Samuddin, son of Gulshad. He admitted that he had come from Afghanistan three days ago, with two cannons, two Kalashnikovs, a grenade and other weapons. He added that he intended to go to Pishin.
The sources have revealed that the local population played an important role in the success of the operation against the terrorists. Defense experts said residents who fight alongside the security forces against terrorists were a welcome development.
Pakistan in recent times has seen an increase in terrorist attacks in the country orchestrated from Afghanistan. Several Afghan terrorists had been killed in operations by security forces in different parts of the country.
The Dead Afghan terrorists include Badruddin, the son of the Governor of the Afghan province of Baghdis. On February 28, another Afghan terrorist, Mujeebur Rehman, was killed, who was commander of a military academy in Afghanistan.
According to defense experts, the main reason for the increase in terrorism in Pakistan was that the terrorist outfits prospered on Afghan soil, which justified immediate action internationally.
