Pakistan foils terror bid, seizes arms smuggled from Afghanistan

FC Balochistan and security forces have foiled an attempt to smuggle weapons and ammunition from Afghanistan during a joint operation under Operation Radd-ul-Fitna 3, the 24NewsHD TV channel reported on Sunday.

According to security sources, forces raided a warehouse in Saranan, an area of Pishin district, and seized a vehicle loaded with weapons and ammunition.

The recovered items included three rocket-propelled grenade launchers, four light machine guns, a machine gun, hand grenades, rockets and a large quantity of ammunition, the sources said.
