Kabul: Afghanistan's Taliban government has said 1,800 ISIS terrorists were released from Bagram and Pul-e-Charkhi prisons after they came to power last year.

Amir Khan Muttaqi, acting Foreign Minister of the Taliban,made the statement  at the Tashkent international conference.

Foreign Minister Muttaqi conceded the release of ISIS prisoners during his speech at the Tashkent conference on Tuesday, July 26.

However, he claimed that during the previous 11 months of Taliban administration, the group had grown strong enough to subdue ISIS fighters, reports Khaama Press.

He asserted that when the ISIS members were besieged by the Taliban in Jawzjan province in northern Afghanistan, the previous administration flew them to Kabul.

He further claimed that for the previous 11 months, the same ISIS had been causing unrest in Afghanistan.

The Taliban came to power in Afghanistan on Aug 15.
