In Kashmir, it has been revealed that the terrorists who attacked tourists indiscriminately used American M4 carbines and AK-47 rifles. How did the terrorists get hold of the sophisticated M4 carbine rifles? A news collection about that.
TRF terrorists, a shadow organization of Lashkar-e-Taiba, carried out a brutal attack on tourists in the Baisaran Valley in Pahalgam, south Kashmir. In this attack, 28 people were shot dead without mercy. Many were seriously injured.
More than 70 M4 and AK-47 cartridges have been recovered from the site of the attack. AK-47 rifles are also available in the black market in many countries around the world. Pakistan also has a lot of AK-47 rifles. Many terrorist organizations around the world have AK-47 rifles. But the M4 carbine rifle is not so easy to get.
The Benelli M4 rifle was developed by the Italian arms company Benelli Armi SpA. It is a semi-automatic shotgun. The United States produced more than 500,000 M4 carbine units in the 1980s. The most lethal M4 carbine rifle is capable of firing 970 rounds of bullets per minute.
The bullets of the M4 carbine rifles can easily penetrate any armored vehicle. They can fire up to a maximum range of 3,600 meters. The American M4 carbine rifles are used only by the armies of the United States, Britain, and Italy.
Already, last year, the Indian Army recovered the most lethal M4 carbine rifles during a series of searches conducted in the Jammu and Kashmir region. When the American army withdrew from Afghanistan, it left behind about 7 billion US dollars worth of sophisticated weapons, including M4 carbine rifles.
All the American-made weapons captured by the Taliban have been sent to Pakistan for use against India. Last year, two significant meetings took place in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. Indian intelligence sources said that in those meetings, held by Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed at the Pakistani army camp in Tehreek-e-Insaf, it was decided to send as many weapons as possible to Kashmir.
Also, last year, Indian intelligence had warned that the Pakistani army and the ISI had set up 15 new terrorist camps and more than 24 launch pads in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
Generally, whenever there is a ceasefire on the border, Pakistani intelligence sends terrorists across the Line of Control into India. In particular, Pakistan sends weapons into Pakistan-occupied Kashmir before the terrorists enter.
The International Financial Action Task Force puts countries on the grey list that do not prevent the financing of terrorist organizations. Pakistan was recently removed from the list. Only after that, the International Monetary Fund gave Pakistan a loan. On the other hand, Pakistan is trying to earn a good name with the US by using its mineral resources.
Moreover, the Islamic terrorists who have infiltrated Jammu and Kashmir are seeking the support of the public for their daily needs. Since the public gives shelter, it is easy for the terrorists to carry out attacks inside Kashmir.
It is against this backdrop that the Pahalgam attack took place. Security measures have been intensified as any retaliation against Pakistan could cause unrest in Jammu and Kashmir.
