Iran is Taliban’s weapon supplier: another consignment ceased in Afghanistan
September 16, 2007 by pulkit
It seems the relations between Iran and Taliban are strengthning too rapidly for Western comfort. Iranian weapons have been confiscated in Iraq, and even once in Afghanistan, before.
Another shipment carrying Iranian weapons for the Taliban has been ceased in Afghanistan by NATO forces, a development that signals Iran’s sly rise as a leading conventional arm proliferator. The Ahmadinejad regime is supplying miscreants with tools of destruction to ensure that places like Iraq and Afghanistan become a living hell for the Allied forces. But, also, it is elongating the the plethora of troubles that the normal people have been facing in these war inflicted countries.
The shipment ceased included mostly armor piercing bombs, which are very popular among the insurgents in Iraq as well. Iran seems to be the new North Korea, merrily proliferating arms.
Citing unnamed officials from the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force, the newspaper said the shipment seized on September 6 included armor-piercing bombs, which have been especially deadly when used as roadside bombs against foreign troops in Iraq. [source]
