The US-made weapons were used in Jaffar Express attack, The Washington Post reported on Monday. The attack took place on March 11, when the Peshawar-bound Jaffar Express, carrying 440 passengers, was ambushed. Several hostages were taken during the assault, prompting a two-day security operation to neutralize the threat and rescue the captives. Weapons were left behind by United States forces following their 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan. Among the weapons recovered from the scene was an M4A1 carbine rifle manufactured by Colt, an American arms maker.
