Zhob Attack: Evidence of US Weapons in the Hands of TTP Terrorists

In Zhob, Balochistan, a shocking discovery was made after a gruesome assault by terrorists from Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). The militants were armed with weapons previously abandoned by the United States in Afghanistan, raising questions about the access and distribution of these armaments.

The horrifying attack targeted the local garrison in Zhob. In response, security forces in northern Balochistan initiated a cleansing operation, eventually leading to a violent confrontation.

The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) confirmed the death toll: “Five terrorists were killed during the operation.” Unfortunately, the brutal encounter also resulted in the loss of nine Pakistani soldiers.

Intriguingly, evidence following the operation revealed the TTP militants were not only equipped with sophisticated U.S. weapons like M16 Assault Rifles, but they were also wearing U.S. soldier uniforms, helmets, and gloves. Pictures released after the clearance operation in Zhob depicted the fallen terrorists dressed in American military attire.

The use of U.S.-origin weapons and military gear by TTP terrorists raises serious concerns about the access and distribution of these materials. It draws attention to the critical question of how these advanced weapons, uniforms, and other items found their way into the hands of these militants.

Since the TTP renounced its ceasefire with the government in November of the previous year, Pakistan has been plagued by a surge in terrorist activity. These activities are rampant in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan, leading to uncertainty and escalating security concerns.
