KABUL, Oct. 14 (Xinhua) -- Over 68 Taliban insurgents laid down their arms and surrendered to the government in western Herat province of Afghanistan on Wednesday, head of Strengthening Peace Committee Hazrat Sharif Mujadadi said.

"Fifty insurgents from Gazara and Pashtun Zarghon districts laid down their arms today and vowed not to fight against the government," Mujadadi told Xinhua.

Senior military commander of Afghan forces in the province General Jalandar Shah Behnam also said that 18 more insurgents from both the above districts surrendered to the government troops Wednesday.

Their surrender took place in the wake of the killing of Taliban key commander Ghulam Yahya Akbari days ago.
