The Anti-Narcotics Force (ANF) on Wednesday thwarted a major attempt to smuggle automatic weapons into Punjab that might have been used for terrorism in the province. The ANF seized a large cache of arms from a Toyota Hiace near Attock Toll Plaza and arrested the suspect, who was identified as a resident of Mianwali. The weapons included 10 Kalashnikovs, 2 shotguns, five 30-bore pistols, one Beretta pistol, 33 Kalashnikov magazines and shotgun magazines. The suspect was smuggling weapons to different cities of Punjab from Darra Adam Khel in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The ANF handed over the accused and the weapons to the Attock police for legal action.
