While the Global Financial Action Task Force (FATF) has begun deliberations on Pakistan’s compliance with international anti-terrorist financing norms, Pakistan continues to support terrorism by abetting smuggling of weapons across the Line of Control. On 12 October, alert Indian troops deployed at the Tangdhar Sector of North Kashmir, thwarted yet another attempt by Pakistan Army to smuggle weapons from PoJK. At 1830 hours, a joint search operation launched along with JKP recovered a bag with Five Pistols, Ten Magazines, 138 rounds of ammunition from a location close to the Line of Control. Currently the area is cordoned off and search is under progress.
