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.

We just need to start Hunter-killer groups and night ops 24/7/365. No publicity and have people just disappear. Starting with the head clown. Accidents need to start happening all over that country.
We need some real counter-insurgency.
92 x 70 = 6400 virgins and counting. Hope they’re ugly.
I’ve seen other reports saying that there were from 800 to 900 ISIS in the area. If true, 90 dead is a good start, but I wish it had been higher. Maybe the bomb was as powerful as it could be without the likelihood of taking civilians down with it.
Dancing in the street. The more the merrier.
Well now my pal Laz is a Good Old Boy from “Bama. He’d get the job done. Hey it’s ‘’paradise’’. He doesn’t have to do it all in one shot.
Would Hammy have been so upset if 20 1,000 lb. bombs had been dropped, instead?
Lets see... 90 x 72 virgins. That’s a lot of virgins!
Are we counting them by watching satellites or doing recovery ourselves?
It would be a Target-Rich environment if we are just watching ISIS do cleanup.
Need to drop a few more.
And that probably doesn’t the include the terrorists who were vaporized.
I wonder if the terrorists are feeling a little terrorized?

A muzzard talking about a “barbaric act”. That’s rich.
He was probably getting kickbacks from the contractors doing the tunnel work.
It would be great if we had used a female pilot- maybe we did?
Jewish female pilot.
Maybe their virgins look like raisins. It is an old religion you know.
Yup. Saw cnn headline yesterday “military defends use of moab” a s wondered Who Is Complaining?
I think there are more ‘blown to ashes’ than what is being reported...I would ask the goats...they would have better info...
And 90 years old....
Besides the blast effect from one of these puppies, one must consider the heat factor. Temperature is approx. 3000 Celsius or 5400 degrees Fahrenheit during the explosion. As a point of reference, the temperature in a modern crematorium is 1400 degrees to 1800 degrees. Dust to dust. Ashes to ashes...
“It would be great if we had used a female pilot- maybe we did?”
Maybe, at the last minute before cameras rolled, some soldiers taped a pound of bacon to the MOAB.
