The weapons left by US forces in Afghanistan are now being utilised by the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) in cross-border terrorist activities against Pakistan. The attack on Zhob Garrison on July 12, 2023, also involved the use of American weapons by the TTP. On Sept 6, 2023, TTP terrorists armed with the latest American weapons attacked two army checkpoints in Chitral. On Dec 13, customs and security forces recovered modern American weapons from onion sacks in a vehicle coming from Afghanistan to Pakistan. The Eurasian Times also claimed that US-made weapons were used by TTP terrorists in their terror acts on Pakistani soil.
