UNITED NATIONS - At the United Nations, Pakistan has expressed deep concerns over the possession and use of modern and sophisticated weapons by the ter­rorist group TTP. They acquire them from illicit arms markets or receive them from entities that want to destabilize a particular region or country. He said it is the responsibility of all the states and the UN to take mea­sures to prevent illicit trade, trans­fer and diversion of these arms. He demanded an investigation into how the TTP acquired the sophisticated weapons being used against Paki­stan’s border and other posts. The Ambassador said Pakistan will continue to work closely with the in­ternational community towards ex­posing those who are responsible for supporting, financing and exter­nally sponsoring such operations.
