| Afghan official: Massive US bomb death toll rises to 94 |
| 2017-04-15 |
| The number of militants killed in an attack by the largest non-nuclear weapon ever used in combat by the US military has risen to 94, an Afghan official said Saturday. Hajji PX/BX and dozens of Chinese motorcycles also destroyed. Ataullah Khogyani, spokesman for the provincial governor in Nangarhar, said the number of Islamic State group dead was up from the 36 reported a day earlier. A Ministry of Defense official had said Friday the number of dead could rise as officials assessed the bomb site in Achin district. "Fortunately there is no report of civilians being killed in the attack," Khogyani said. No report of latrines destroyed or damaged either. Lions of Islam don't do so well without human shields, do they? |

| #15 Reminiscent of the old ArcLight drops but then I assume this is better. Still no matter what the casualties there is always the psych op impact. |

| #11 g(r)om, they especially hate it when it is effective and practical against America's enemies. |

| #10 Years of near daily drone killing (to include 'innocents') under their wannabe god and no protests, one big bomb dropped this week and its a war crime in the Proggie minds. Well, the big bomb was effective - left hates anything effective and/or practical. |

| #7 C-130 high-altitude parachute extraction. One might suspect lots of gnashing of teeth in the USAF fighter pilot community. |
