Mother Of All Bombs

Prime Minister Narendra Modi Wednesday said he did not fall prey to Pakistan's nuclear blackmail, because India has the "mother of nuclear bombs".

Hours after the government confirmed India's air strikes on terror targets across the Line of Control, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said at a rally in Rajasthan's Churu, "I assure you, the country is in safe hands. There is nothing above the nation."

Thirty-five-year-old social activist Shipra Sharma called her mother on January 14 to inform that she had "safely arrived" in Kabul, Afghanistan, soon after landing in the strife-torn country.

China has developed a massive bomb, said to be the country's answer to the US-built 'Mother of All Bombs', the most powerful non-nuclear weapon, official media reported on Friday.

The police today claimed to have cracked the wedding gift parcel bomb case of Bolangir alleging that a college lecturer masterminded it for being replaced by the mother of one of the two persons killed in the blast in February.

Pope Francis on Saturday criticised the naming of the US military's biggest non-nuclear explosive as "the Mother of All Bombs", saying the word "mother" should not be used in reference to a deadly weapon.

Eight days after the US military dropped its largest ever conventional bomb on suspected ISIS terrorists in eastern Afghanistan, Taliban terrorists breached an army base in the north of the country and killed scores of local soldiers.

On Thursday, the United States dropped a bomb in Afghanistan, near a place called Achin. The GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast blew up a cave complex used by Islamic State fighters - and, shortly thereafter, the media.

Thursday, the United States dropped the "mother of all bombs" on a network of Islamic State caves and tunnels in Afghanistan. The military argued that its spectacular use of force was necessary to destroy the underground terror hideout. (Though it's not clear that the MOAB was the right tool to accomplish that goal.)

U.S. forces in Afghanistan had not yet assessed the impact Friday of a massive strike on Islamic State militants in the eastern part of the country, a military spokesman said, raising questions about the already controversial decision to deploy a 22,000-pound bomb on the battlefield.

The death toll from the American military's largest non-nuclear bomb nearly tripled Saturday, with Afghan officials saying at least 90 Islamic State terrorists were killed, as US-led forces conducted clean-up operations over the rugged terrain.

The top US military commander in Afghanistan said on Friday his decision to deploy one of the largest conventional bombs used in combat was done in communication with officials in Washington and was a purely tactical decision.

As many as three dozen militants with the radical Islamic State group were killed when U.S. forces dropped a 22,000-pound bomb on their hideout in eastern Afghanistan, defense ministry officials said Friday.

The US military's largest non-nuclear bomb killed at least 36 terrorists as it decimated a deep tunnel complex of the ISIS group, Afghan officials said Friday, ruling out any civilian casualties.
