KABUL, Jan. 9 (Xinhua) -- Police have discovered a weapon cache containing a variety of arms and ammunition in Baghlan province in northern Afghanistan, provincial police chief Mawlawi Abdul Haq Haqqani said Friday.
The weaponry was recovered from Deh Salah district on Thursday, the official added.
Without providing further details, the official stressed that no one has the right to keep or carry arms illegally, and police would spare no effort to collect weaponry from unauthorized persons to ensure law and order in the province.
