Number Of ISIS Fighters Killed By ‘Mother Of All Bombs’ Rises To 94
New York Post ^ | April 15, 2017

KABUL, Afghanistan — The number of militants killed in an attack by the largest non-nuclear weapon ever used in combat by the U.S. military has risen to 94, an Afghan official said Saturday.

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.

The U.S. attack on a tunnel complex in remote eastern Nangarhar province near the Pakistan border killed at least four IS group leaders, Khogyani said. He said a clearance operation to assess the site of the attack was continuing.

alluh gonna need to order some more virgins. LOL!


Where do all the virgins come from? Are they resurrected 8 year old girls who used to be alive, or does the big pedophile in the sky manufacture them out of whole cloth?

I would think that anyone outside of a deep Tunnel would be Vaporized by the Air Blast Heat and Concussion.

Remember, there are many People who died in the Twin Towers whose Remains have never been found.

Just sayin’...

I don’t get how they know how many died. Who is there counting? How do you count the rubble in the tunnels?

How can they know the total when some/many may have been completely disintegrated? The bomb is supposed to completely obliterate anything within 1,000 yards.

With that many players in residence, I would bet there will be a lot of intel gathered that will lead to other successful efforts.

Wonder how safe the North Korean leadership feels they are in their “fortified” bunkers?

I think they got the message

They are probably mostly goats. 72 virgin goats would satisfy most jihadists. Heck, they’d probably settle for 62.

I just hope like hell there is a couple thousand of those scumbags trapped inside those caves and their death’s will be very slow and painful!

What are they counting? Body parts? Are they counting who didn’t show up for roll call? I thought those caves collapsed or where sealed from the blast?

How about we count the number of invaders obama let in this country and divide that by at least a trillion and give that number to the frickin’ media?

How many survivors were there?

That's the important question.

Some of them were probably vaporized. Some were probably buried deep in the tunnels. I think it will be hard to put a final tally on the numbers.
