MoD investigating alleged shipment of helicopters spares to Pakistan
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] The Ministry of Defense (MoD) has launched an investigation regarding the alleged shipment of the spare parts of armored vehicles and helicopters from Afghanistan to the neighboring Pakistain.

A statement by MoD said the Afghan armed forces have seized the containers which were allegedly shipping the spare parts to Pakistain.

The statement further added that the confiscated spare parts do not belong to the Ministry of Defense and were apparently belonging to the coalition forces.

MoD said the investigations are underway to find out more regarding the alleged shipment and further details will be released once the main parties have been ascertained.

Reports regarding the alleged shipment of the spare parts to Pakistain emerged two days suggesting that several containers loaded with various equipment were seized in Nangarhar
