Foreign Office has expressed serious concerns about the advanced military equipment left behind in Afghanistan after the US troop withdrawal in August 2021, which has reportedly been used by terrorist groups, including Tehreek-E-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), in attack on Pakistani soil .

Fo -speaker Shafqat Ali Khan highlighted the security risks that these weapons pose, emphasizing that they have become a source of concern for the security of both Pakistan and its citizens.

In a statement on Wednesday, Khan reiterated that Pakistan had continuously called on the authorities of Kabul to take all necessary measures to prevent these weapons from falling into the hands of terrorists.

The US military equipment that includes aircraft, air-to-earth ammunition, vehicles and communication equipment was left in the wake of the US-led coalition’s withdrawal.

The Taliban quickly took control of much of the military hardware, which further deteriorated Pakistan’s security challenges.

The question received attention after former US President Donald Trump, in a recent public rally, threatened to cut off financial support to Afghanistan, whose Taliban did not return the military equipment.

“If we have to pay billions of dollars a year, tell them we will not give them the money unless they return our military equipment,” Trump said, repeating his administration’s attitude towards the case.

However, the Taliban has reportedly refused to return the equipment and instead called on the United States to supply them with more advanced weapons to fight da’ish.

The US Department of Defense reported in 2022 that military equipment of $ 7 billion.

While US forces endeavored to dismantle or destroy some of their machines in the last weeks of the extraction, a significant amount of military hardware still fell in the Taliban hands.

The chaotic nature of the American withdrawal has been strongly criticized. While it was under Trump’s administration that the United States signed an agreement with the Taliban on the withdrawal of the troop, it was President Joe Bid’s administration that implemented the agreement.

The sudden collapse of the Afghan government and the rapid re -election of the power of the Taliban in August 2021 was destroyed by scenes with chaos culminating with a deadly suicide bombing at Kabul Airport, claiming the life of 13 US troops and dozens of Afghan civilians.
