Pakistan Army has been supplying military equipment to Lashkar-e-Toiba in Kashmir and Taliban in Afghanistan, claimed Afghanistan envoy to the US Majeed Qarar, today.
The allegation was made following an attack on the Afghan Military Academy in Kabul by a group of suicide bombers earlier today. At least five soldiers were killed in the attack and 10 wounded.
Majeed Qarar, the Cultural Attaché at Embassy of Afghanistan in Washington, DC, made the allegations through his Twitter account.
“The night vision goggles found with Taliban attackers in Maiwand’s ANA base were military grade goggles (not sold to the public) procured by Pakistan Army from a British company and supplied to Lashkar-e-Tayyeba in Kashmir and Taliban in Afghanistan. Lashkar-e-Tayyeba is an international terrorist organisation”, Qarar tweeted.

Similar allegations against Pakistan have been leveled by many Baloch leaders too. However, these leaders complain their warnings are not paid heed to.
“Pakistani Intelligence agencies have also been providing such sophisticated equipments to Islamist fighters active against the Baloch cause,”a senior BNM leader told The Balochistan Post.
Qarar’s claims about the Pakistan army supplying Kashmir-focussed LeT bolster India’s contention that terror in the state is being fomented by the Pakistani establishment.
