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.

Nice to see that ISIS gets the message, they can run, but they can’t hide. Nice to hear we got them in this underground complex which they thought was a safe zone for them.

I would imagine a few more are at least a little hearing impaired.

If they thought there were 200 in that location, then we can hopefully watch the numbers go up. It’s like watching a thermometer for a fundraiser, only more fun.

Imagine if this had been done under Obama. All the papers in the country would be cheering! But of course he never would have allowed it, and they cheered that, too.

What? Are they counting body parts? Red stains on the rocks? There wouldn’t be a whole lot left.

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

I saw a local Afghan interviewed he said there were foreign ISIS fighters and leaders in those tunnels.

Along with a big weapons depot.

The prevailing leftist narrative seems to be to divide the cost of the MOAB by the number killed and then parading that resulting cost per target as an indicator of how inefficient Trump is at killing.

Apparently Øbongo was much more effective - even though his efforts often resulted in many more collateral damage.

It’s hard to count the ones in collapsed caves and tunnels.

For this to happen they would have to concentrate in one area and one MOAB would probably not be enough.
