At least 10 Taleban militants were allegedly beheaded by Daesh in Afghanistan where both are locked in a battle for control of many regions, Efe news agency reported on Wednesday.

A group of Daesh insurgents on Tuesday intercepted a dozen Taleban militants in a remote area in the eastern province of Nangarhar and beheaded them, said Numan Hatifi of the 201st Corps of the Afghan National Army.

The Taleban militants were captured while trying to flee after a gun battle with the Afghan security forces, official source said.

Dozens of insurgents have died or been injured in the last few weeks in armed clashes between the Taleban and the Daesh to gain control over several regions of Nangarhar.

#3  It seems that Daesh has ambitions to expand the "caliphate" with new recruits in Afghanistan and to take over the opium market in Western Afghanistan. They are likely picking up new enemies as well. These reports have been showing since last Spring. My conspiratorial noggin tends to think these reports are being promoted by both Daesh as well as Afghan officials for different reasons.
