PESHAWAR, July 27: Pakistan security authorities have recovered multi-barrel rocket launchers, an anti-aircraft gun and ammunition from a village bordering Afghanistan, local officials said on Saturday.

The Pakistan Frontier Constabulary found the arms cache at the village of Saidgi in North Waziristan, some 400 kilometres southwest from here on Friday, officials said.

They said two men were arrested following the discovery of the weapons and the ammunition believed to have been smuggled into the county from neighbouring Afghanistan.

Pakistan has stepped up patrolling along the highly porous border in a bid to prevent remnants of the ousted Taliban and Al Qaeda members entering Pakistan from escaping a US-led crackdown in Afghanistan. —AFP
