The United States on Thursday dropped the most powerful non-nuclear bomb in its arsenal on an ISIS stronghold in Afghanistan — a strike President Trump hailed as “very, very successful.” The US estimates that 600 to 800 ISIS terrorists were on the ground in Afghanistan, mostly in Nangarhar, conducting strikes on government and US forces while battling the rival Taliban.

The US's Massive Ordnance Air Blast bomb does not cost $314 million, or $16 million, but $170,000 a unit, the US Air Force told Business Insider on Friday. The weapon, whose acronym inspired the nickname "Mother of All Bombs," was produced by the Air Force, not by a third party like Lockheed or Boeing, "so we don't have a standard procurement cost associated with them," an Air Force official said. The $170,000 figure makes sense considering a general-purpose 1,000-pound MK-83 costs about $12,000. The MOAB simply features more high explosives and larger fins to direct the GPS-guided munition. Many outlets,...

KABUL, Afghanistan — At least 94 Islamic State militants were killed by the largest non-nuclear bomb ever used in combat, an Afghan army spokesman said Saturday. Maj.

DC council Candidate Kevin B. Chavous was busted in a prostitution sting.

For years it was thought that internet escorts were deemed safe. Recently that has not turned out to be so. A escort has turned up to HIV.

<p>NEW YORK (CNN) - You may have noticed recently that I'm being attacked for my views on the exporting of American jobs and my calls for a balanced U.S. trade policy.</p> <p>Gerard Baker of the Financial Times called me the "high priest of demotic sensationalism."</p>

<p>NEW YORK, Feb. 28 (UPI) -- Barely 50 percent of black male residents of New York City held jobs last year, a new study reveals.</p> <p>The Community Service Society analyzed data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics on the so-called employment-population ratio -- the fraction of the working-age population with a paid job.</p>

Total employment was down in February to 138.3 million, and the employment- population ratio--the proportion of the population age 16 and older with jobs-- declined to 62.2 percent. The ratio was at or near that level for most of 2003. Over the month, the civilian labor force decreased by 392,000 to 146.5 million, and the labor force participation rate fell to 65.9 percent.
