KABUL - The US military on Thursday dropped the largest non-nuclear bomb used in combat to strike an Islamic State target in Afghanistan.
It marked the first time the GBU-43 or Massive Ordnance Air Blast (MOAB), nicknamed "the mother of all bombs", has been used in combat.
US President Donald Trump, who gave the order to deploy the MOAB against an IS cave complex in Nangarhar province, said it was a "success".
