The local officials told Khaama Press that the terrorists surrendered following mediation by tribal elders of the province. 

Head of the Nangarhar Intelligence Directorate Dr. Basheer told the news agency that the fighters surrendered based on the general amnesty announced by the supreme leader of the Taliban and added that the process will go on.

This is the eighth group of the Daesh fighters that surrendered to the Taliban in Nangarhar province since the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan took over last year, reports Khaama Press.

The terrorists, who surrendered, said they will not join the outfit again.

Dr Basheer told Khaama Press that the surrender of the affiliates is conditioned and they are not allowed to go from one area to another without the permission of the Taliban.
