NATO weapons used in terrorism

It was extremely irresponsible that NATO-led forces left behind lethal weapons during their withdrawal from Afghanistan two years ago. Shortly after the NATO-led withdrawal, the Afghan Taliban took control of the country, although no country in the world recognized their occupation.

It was widely assumed that the Afghan Taliban would not change the fundamentals of their policies, which were widely seen as extremist, and that their government would insist on carrying out its orders and would not stand in the way. The only option for the Taliban to implement their policy was the use of force, which was used given the repressive atmosphere in Afghanistan.

The most worrying aspect of the situation is that the policies of the Afghan Taliban have dire consequences for the region, especially for Pakistan, which is again facing terrorism as the Afghan authorities support and encourage the Pakistani Taliban, which is allied with Pakistan. authorities. they wage a fierce battle. It is now accepted that the Pakistani Taliban, known as the TTP, are fighting alongside Pakistani security forces using lethal weapons sourced from Afghanistan from a large stockpile of weapons left behind by NATO.

This dangerous situation has now been underlined by the UN Security Council, which, through the TPP, has indicated that NATO-caliber weapons are ending up in the hands of IS-K. UN experts have rightly noted that these weapons pose a serious threat in conflict zones and neighboring countries. They also raised serious concerns about the possibility of the IS-K gaining access to drones with increased payloads. The situation has caused serious concern among Pakistani security forces, who have often warned of links between the TTP and ISIS, as both terrorist groups target Pakistan.
