 Paramilitary forces on Monday seized a huge weapons cache, including six anti-aircraft US-made Stinger missiles, during a raid on an isolated compound in Mohmand Agency near the Afghan border. âAll the Stinger missiles are unused. It is one of the biggest weapons haul ever outside Waziristan,â Frontier Corps (FC) Inspector General Maj Gen Tariq Masood told Daily Times after a briefing about the pre-dawn operation in Khazena Ziarat area of the Mohmand Agency.

He said that paramilitary forces had also seized 100 rocket-propelled grenades, 12 107-mm rockets, 331 anti-personnel mines, 1,487 fuses of all types, 45 pressure switches, 40 mine triggers, 210 ammunition of 20-mm guns, 437 current ignite missiles (large size), 193 mortar bombs of 60-mm, two guns of 12.7-mm, one battery charger and 42 boxes of rounds of 20-mm gun. âThe operation was bloodless and the security forces faced no resistance. We have arrested a 50-year-old tribesman Taj Muhammad and he is being interrogated,â said Maj Gen Tariq.
