Will not allow single weapon to be sold: Khosti

KABUL (Pajhwok): Interior ministry has rejected media report that Afghanistan planned to sell US weapons and military equipment on Pakistan.

Earlier media reports said that Pakistan planned to buy US military weapons from the Taliban to strengthen the security against Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).

Cross-border violence has escalated in Pakistan since the time the Taliban took power in Afghanistan in mid-August this year. Major operations are running against militants in North Waziristan-the stronghold of TTP after the Taliban took over Afghanistan.

Interior Ministry Spokesperson Qari Saeed Khosti rejected media report regarding military equipment sale and said Afghanistan direly needed weapons.

“We are building new army and need more weapons. We will not allow anyone to sell one weapons on others,” said Khosti
