NEW DELHI:   Pakistan Ordnance Factory markings on the hand grenades and the UBGL grenades recovered from the four terrorists, who were eliminated by Army on the Line of Control while trying to infiltrate in Naugam Sector, confirm Pakistan’s complicity in abetting and equipping terrorism, Defence Ministry officials said today.

The officials said the hand grenades recovered were ARGES 84, manufactured by Pakistan Ordnance Factories.  They said Pakistan origin markings were also seen on the medicines and eatable items recovered.

A large number of highly inflammable material, like six plastic explosive slabs, six bottles of petroleum jelly, six bottles of inflammable liquid and six lighters were also recovered.

Similar inflammable material was recovered at Poonch incident site of September 11 and the Uri incident site of September 18.
