| The MOAB Hit Afghanistan So Hard It Cracked Buildings In Neighboring Pakistan |
| 2017-04-18 |
| [Daily Caller] The U.S. military’s non-nuclear "mother of all bombs" (MOAB) hit the Islamic State in Afghanistan so hard that it cracked buildings in neighboring Pakistan. Villagers complained to Dawn, a newspaper in Pakistan, that the bomb cracked numerous houses and a mosque in Malana village located in the foothills of the White Mountain, which serves as a border between the two countries. The MOAB hit an ISIS base last Thursday in the foothills of the White Mountain on exactly the other side of the border in the Afghan province of Nangarhar, leaving 90 dead, though initial death tolls placed the number at only 36. Green Beret Staff Sgt. Mark De Alencar died of small arms fire in early April in the same province. "We felt light shocks, but did not realise it was because of a bomb," said Muhammad Hassan, one of the Malana villagers who spoke with Dawn. |

| #13 The MOAB is real ball buster. I heard today there is one non-nuclear bomb that is even larger. |

| #5 Not that there's any connection between an al-Qaeda/ISIS tunnel complex in Afghanistan and numerous houses and a mosque across the border in Pakistain. Nope. |

| #4 Come to think of it, I think I got some very expensive cracks that showed up in my foundation after that bomb hit . . . . Either way, if true, it gives me even more confidence that the thing did its job. |
