Inside Pakistan's largest arms market on the border with Afghanistan

People, today, we will show you active gun-making factories in Pakistan. We will go to the tribal areas that are out of reach of the official government. This tribal area is also called ‘trouble area’. The official laws of Pakistan don’t work here. It harbors a marketplace where you can buy anything normally never sold at any other regular market of the world… although at a first glance it looks pretty regular too. We spot some creepy hearse vans at the entrance, then see a number of guys selling veggies off their trucks. All seems pretty ordinary until, behind the peas, cucumbers and old scales, we see a wall with a banner, Asia Arms Store, complete with phone numbers and a contact in WhatsApp. As soon as we entered the market we were followed and five minutes later, we were stopped by two big guys in black. Today, we have with us Alex Pototsky, a friend of mine and a fantastic reporter who’s been all over the world. This is Lyadov and The people project from the border between Pa
