Going Underground: The U.S. Government’s Hunt for Enemy Tunnels
1/2/2018
By Jon Harper


In April of last year, the U.S. military dropped the most powerful non-nuclear bomb ever used in combat on a tunnel complex in Afghanistan’s Nangarhar province. The airstrike targeted the Islamic State’s Khorasan branch. The use of the GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast weapon, the so-called “Mother of All Bombs,” highlighted the growing threat posed by adversaries’ underground structures.

Gen. John Nicholson, commander of U.S. Forces-Afghanistan, cited the challenge of dealing with subterranean targets to justify the use of the bomb, also known as the MOAB.

On the left side of your keyboard, just above the shift key, is the Caps Lock key.

Press it.

Better call him on the phone.  Looks like he logged off.
