Origin of American Weapons used by TTP Against Pakistan

Major revelations from the US House Committee on Foreign Affairs. US House Committee on Foreign Affairs Chairman Michael McCaul said: – “IEA is helping TTP to arm itself against Pakistan” – Zabihullah Mujahid,(@Zabehulah_M33 ) the spokesman of the Islamic Emirate, denied the American statement and called it baseless – The supply of arms to the TTP has seriously undermined the peace and security of the region. – The #Pentagon report also revealed the secret of TTP’s use of American weapons against #Pakistan.

Defense equipment worth $7.12 billion remained in #Afghanistan after the US withdrawal on August 30, 2021, the Pentagon said. – The U.S. delivered a total of 427,300 combat weapons to the #Afghan military, with 300,000 remaining at the time of withdrawal, the Pentagon said. – After the American withdrawal, these weapons came under the supervision of the Islamic Emirate and later reached the hands of anti-Pakistan groups, the Pentagon said. – US arms militarily strengthen TTP and Baloch separatist groups. – Due to this, the region witnessed a massive increase in terrorism during the last two years. – The United States provided $18.6 billion in equipment to the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces between 2005 and August 2021, the Pentagon said. – Due to this open concession by the Islamic Emirate, the TTP has access to modern weapons such as the M24 sniper rifle, M4 carbines and M16A4. – The former commanders of the IEA willingly handed over a substantial amount of these weapons to the #TTP – These weapons helped the TTP to operate across the border. – A video released by the TTP in August 2022 shows M24 sniper rifles, M16A4 rifles equipped with thermal scopes, M4 carbines with Trijicon ACOG scopes, DShKM heavy machine guns, and T-15mm heavy 5mm launchers. – Through these weapons, TTP carried out terrorist activities in #Peshawar, #LakkiMarwat, #Bannu, and #DeraIsmailKhan and targeted police personnel. – In 2022, a total of 118 police personnel were martyred in terrorist incidents in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. – In the first four months of 2023, 120 police personnel were targeted by the TTP – The Baloch Liberation Army also attacked FC camps in Nushki and Panjgur districts in February 2022 using the same weapons. – TTP also used American weapons in the attack on Zhob Garrison on July 12, 2023. – Prior to this incident, on May 16, 2023, the TTP had shared a few photos showing TTP terrorists undergoing training. – In the photos, the fighters are seen armed with advanced weapons, including thermal vision helmets, rifles and laser sights. – All these facts indicate that the Islamic Emirate is not only arming the TTP but also providing a safe haven for other terrorist organizations.
