Foreign rifles seized from terrorists in Op Mahadev exposes Pak hand: Sources

The cache of foreign-made rifles and weapons recovered from the slain terrorists, one of whom was the mastermind of the Pahalgam attack, during Operation Mahadev has exposed Pakistan's role in fuelling terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir.

On Monday, three months after the Pahalgam attack, which left 26 dead, security forces gunned down top Lashkar commander Suleiman Shah, alias Hashim Musa.

Musa, who served in the Pakistan army's special forces, is believed to be the conspirator and executor of the April 22 attack in Baisaran Valley.

Sources said the recovery of sophisticated weapons like the US-made M4 Carbine pointed towards an organised supply chain being operated from across the border.
