Islamabad, November 02: Pakistan today claimed its security forces had seized Indian-made arms and equipment from the Taliban stronghold of South Waziristan, where the Army has launched a major operation to flush out the militants.
Information Minister Qamar Zaman Kaira and chief military spokesman Maj Gen Athar Abbas alleged during a news briefing that Pakistani troops had recovered “Indian arms, ammunition, literature and medical equipment” from Sherwangi, a key militant base that was captured a few days ago.
“We have informed the Foreign Office about this evidence. It is up to them to take up the matter with (the Indian government),” Abbas said in response to a question on India’s alleged role in backing militants in South Waziristan.
