Afghan army soldiers

Gen. John Nicholson, commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan, addresses a press briefing in Kabul, capital of Afghanistan, on April 14, 2017. The U.S. military has dropped the largest non-nuclear bomb in Afghanistan on an Islamic State target, the Pentagon said Thursday. U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday gave the order for the U.S. military to drop a GBU-43 or Massive Ordnance Air Blast (MOAB) bomb on an IS cave complex in Nangarhar Province in Afghanistan, the first time such a bomb has been used in combat.
