ISLAMABAD —
Afghan officials say the number of militants known to have been killed by a huge U.S. bomb Thursday has nearly tripled.
Officials say at least 92 militants died in the blast - up from 36 reported Friday. The area is still being cleared, so the death toll may increase.
There is no indication any civilians or military personnel were among the dead.
President Ashraf Ghani said Afghan and U.S. forces closely coordinated on the bombing, however his predecessor has strongly denounced the strike and the United States.
Former Afghan President Hamid Karzai said Saturday he is unleashing a campaign to force U.S. forces out of his country for dropping the so-called “mother of all bombs” on Afghan soil, calling it a "barbaric" act that was more aimed at testing "a new weapon of mass destruction" than targeting Islamic State fighters.

That means the bomb worked as designed.
Boy, are those poor virgins being overworked in Allah heaven.
Hammy must’ve lost family and friends.
More bang for the buck!
General Jack Keane told someone on FNC that there were over 200 ISIS in the target area.
Our Laz would give them a run for their money and have ‘em beggin’ for more!
It is interesting to see who’s suddenly squawking about this strike and who isn’t.
With Karzai as ally we didn’t need...
But...but...ISIS says no one was hurt.
“There is no indication any civilians or military personnel were among the dead.”
So was it Martians?
I always liked Karzai, and it seemed he was a good guy until zero got in, then he became the bad guy. I have no idea who’s who and what’s what in international politics these days.
working in the drug labs in those caves- we hope
what about the beautiful babies
I’m pleased that Afghan Pres. Ghani was informed and included on this mission. That makes it more likely that their information about the target was accurate and of significance. The ex-Pres. Karzai can just go twiddle his thumbs counter-clock-wise if he doesn’t like it.
We should drop another one on the exact same place,right now.Anyone doing rescue and recovery is ISIS,kill them all.
Since it would be tough to count dispersed molecules I suppose they'll need to estimate the number of savages who were vaporized.
C’mon on...ninety times 72! That’s 6480!
Not even the much-heralded Laz could handle that.
Then, as Ann Coulter pointed out many years ago, the translation of the original Arabic in the koran has been in dispute for centuries as the word for ‘virgin’ and the word for ‘raisin’ are the same and it depends on context.
Virgins? Not even Laz. Raisins? He might stand a chance.
I want bigger and better results, from orbit, once we’ve had time to vacate the premises.
