Zahedan, Sistan-Balouchestan Prov, Oct 17, IRNA -- An Afghan
party official told IRNA Wednesday that another 700 Taliban forces
defected and surrendered themselves to the United Islamic Front (UIF)

Afghanistan.
Deputy head of Iran's Zahedan Bureau of the UIF, Eshaq Danesh,
said that the newly defected Taliban forces surrendered themselves
to the North Coalition forces situated near Mazar-i-Sharif on
Tuesday, October 16.
Danesh added that the North Coalition forces are currently engaged
in a full scale war with the remainder of the Taliban forces some two
kilometers to the south of Mazar Sharif.
He meanwhile announced that in order to resist against an upcoming
U.S. land invasion, the Taliban forces have recruited some three
thousand of the indigenous inhabitants of the Qandihar, Qazney, and
Hilmand provinces of Afghanistan and armed them with machine guns.
