"A total of 50 Taliban insurgents under Taliban key
commander Mullah Toofan laid down arms and surrendered to local authorities
in Qadis district today morning," Amini told Xinhua.
Mullah Toofan, according to the official, was commanding 300
armed fighters in Qadis district over the past few years and his surrender to
government would prove a major setback to the Taliban outfit in Badghis and
adjoining areas.
The surrendered commander Toofan and his men would soon come to
provincial capital Qala-e-Naw to talk to media, the official said.
Taliban militants are yet to make comment.
