WIKIPEDIA is correct in stating that the MOAB is not a Fuel Air Explosive (FAE). The MOAB's model number is GBU-43/B. GBU stands for Guided Bomb Unit; it's filled with high explosive, not fuel.

"Current US FAE munitions include:

BLU-73 FAE I

BLU-95 500-lb (FAE-II)

BLU-96 2,000-lb (FAE-II)

CBU-55 FAE I

CBU-72 FAE I"

I sit corrected. You are right. I am old and sometimes the synapses fire off target.
