Fight against ISIS: US military drops “mother of all bombs” in Afghanistan

A few hours ago, the US military dropped America's most powerful non-nuclear bomb on ISIS targets in Afghanistan and it's the first time this type of weapon has been used in battle.

According to Pentagon spokesman Adam Stump, a GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast Bomb (MOAB), nicknamed the "mother of all bombs," was dropped at 7:32 pm local time. 
A MOAB is a 21,600-pound, GPS-guided munition. The bomb was dropped by an MC-130 aircraft, stationed in Afghanistan and operated by Air Force Special Operations Command.

Officials said the target was an ISIS cave and tunnel complex and personnel in the Achin district of the Nangarhar province. 

White House press secretary Sean Spicer said, "the United States takes the fight against ISIS very seriously and in order to defeat the group we must deny them operational space, which we did. The strike "targeted a system of tunnels and cave that ISIS fighters use to move around freely."

  16. Because of his religious affiliation to Islam, Obama couldn't fight Isis. President Trump is not here for a joke. Most ignorant Americans who criticize Trump over dropping this bomb doesn't understand that his action today does not only imply fighting Isis, but also sending a serious message to North Korea too

  22. Those who know nothing about international politics should keep quiet and not assume, be deceived it's a fight against ISIS. This is simply an excuse to test the BOMB. The question most people who don't know and pretend to know should ask is who fund ISIS, whose country weapon do they use? This is just a repeat of the Atomic bomb tested on the Japanese soil.

  23. So in your mind you think Leave Isis and letting them destroy,kill and gain more grounds is the best way abi..
    And you feel with time they will stop,if action is taken... For every action there is equal and opposite reaction.. Let them bomb another USA embassy or something, and am sure USA will respond in larger and greater reaction.. Thank you

  24. If there is a father of bomb, let Trump drop it on them. In fact let America develope family of bomb and drop it ON ISIS. no
