QUETTA: Pishin Scouts of the Frontier Corp have recovered a large cache of weapons including missiles and anti-aircraft guns from Aabtou Area near the Pak-Afghan border, a spokesman for the scouts said on Friday. Captain Ilyas said that the Pishin Scouts received a tip off about the smuggling of heavy artillery to be used for terrorism inside Pakistan. A raiding party reached the smuggler’s hideout and recovered eighteen 82mm bombs, seven RPG-7 bombs, short range missiles, 64 shells for a 30mm anti-aircraft gun, 240 shells of a 12.7mm anti-aircraft gun and around 200kgs of hashish.
"Hey, Mahmoud! We're goin' up to the lake this Friday to do some elk huntin'. Want to come along?"
"I dunno. Got any weed?"
"'Bout 200 kg."
"I'll get my turban..." |
The spokesman said the smugglers escaped when they saw the raiding party, leaving the arms cache behind. He said the scouts had also seized 100kgs of hashish in another raid. |
