80 taliban surrender to Afghan forces

These taliban weren't willing to die for allah. Eighty taliban have laid down their weapons and accepted vowed to stop fighting against the Afghan government.

I'm not all that excited about the taliban receiving amnesty from the Afghan government. Someone should keep a close eye on these guys considering how US and British soldiers have been killed by taliban sympathizers. Live Leak

Authorities in Afghanistan say 80 Taliban militants have laid down their weapons and joined the police force, accepting a governm More..ent amnesty aimed at ending an insurgency.

In a ceremony at police headquarters in the eastern city of Herat, the 80 men handed over their weapons and pledged to end their fight against the government.

The decision comes after president Hamid Karzai again offered an olive branch to Taliban fighters to reintegrate into Afghan society.
