Kaboom!!!

It is reported that the United States dropped a massive GBU-43 bomb, the largest non-nuclear bomb it has ever used in combat, in eastern Afghanistan on Thursday against a series of caves used by Islamic State militants, according to Pentagon spokesman Adam Stump. This was the first-ever combat use of the bomb, known as the GBU-43, which contains 11 tons of explosives. It was first tested in March 2003.

The Air Force calls it the Massive Ordnance Air Blast bomb. It has been nicknamed the "Mother Of All Bombs."

According to news reports, General John Nicholson, the head of U.S. and international forces in Afghanistan, said the bomb was used against caves and bunkers housing fighters of the Islamic State in Afghanistan.

My only comment about the bombing is, that it should get somebody’s attention.

It certainly got the attention of those at the impact site.
