KABUL, Dec. 22 (Xinhua) -- Afghan security forces have discovered a vast quantity of arms and ammunition from the western Farah province and its neighboring Helmand, the state-owned Radio and Television of Afghanistan (RTA) reported on Sunday.
The weaponry which includes five Kalashnikovs, nine pistols, a rocket-propelled grenade, an American-made M-16, a large quantity of bullets, and other illegally preserved military equipment have been discovered during a series of operations in different districts of the said provinces recently, according to Abdul Mateen Qani, spokesman for the Interior Ministry.
