Arms from Pakistan, South Africa and Israel have also been recovered.<br/>According to the official data, 87 Chinese-made revolvers were recovered in Jammu and Kashmir by security forces during the last year. In the North-East, the forces recovered 113 arms in 2008 while 118 such seizures were made in 2007 which include Chinese pistols, Belgian-made gas guns and US-made carbines.<br/>The report said naxals are using foreign country-made arms, especially from China and the US, frequently.
