Army uniforms for sale

The attacks on the Army GHQ, and the WFP office, reveals a new tactic being employed by terrorist groups; dressing up like the security forces they intend to target. In both instances, terrorists have managed to guise themselves in camouflaged attire, often escaping the critical eye of even the most astute observer. According to the Defence Minister, wearing military uniform by terrorists is the new modus operandi of attacks on govt. installations. But is it really that simple for militants to get their hands on military uniforms?

DawnNews' Danial Khan takes a look at how the Pakistan army uniform lands up at the flea market.

Army clothes are sold in every country in the world to anyone who wants to buy them.

The problems of security is the gov't, not a shop keeper.

Remember, these items are also collectibles bought by those with no misguided intentions. Actually, those camo patterns are somewhat rare to find in the US and may bring good prices at auction.

It is a big issue actually unlike the many comments here, in many countries like UAE, not everyone can get Military clothes so easily like Pakistan.

Yes you can by Camouflage clothes, but not proper uniforms.

This must be controlled in Pakistan.
