In a fresh source of embarrassment for Pakistan, twenty-year-old Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist Zaibullah alias Hamza has told India's national investigation agency (NIA) that Pakistan is not just sending terror agents into the country but also smuggling arms.
Zaibullah's disclosure is significant as security forces admit that no terrorist has been caught without a weapon in an encounter.
According to the information provided by the LeT operative, for every two infiltrations, there is one arms consignment stocked in safe areas. Such cargos are dumped in areas demarcated by the LeT.
He further informed that the terrorists can take weapons including pistols, AK-47s, grenade launchers among other arms from the safe areas.
It was earlier believed that the terrorists relied on stealing weapons during the encounters. Zaibullah also noted that at a time, one arms package contains 6-7 weapons.
Zaibullah was arrested on April 6 this year after India's security agencies acted on a tip-off. He had earlier escaped an encounter in March.
"Pakistan's army is rewarded for every kill. LeT's Falahai-i-Insaniat Foundation (FIF) carries banners reading "Burmese and Kashmiri Muslims must join the FIF". These are put outside mosques. The FIF is funded by many events in Pakistan, they are funded by the Saudis too. These funds are collected for the Mujahideens at the Muzaffarabad camps," Zaibullah informed.
