   Washington (AP) -- The Pentagon says U.S. forces in Afghanistan   
   dropped the military's largest non-nuclear bomb on an Islamic   
   State target in Afghanistan.   
      
   Adam Stump is a Pentagon spokesman. Stump says it was the first-   
   ever combat use of the bomb, known as the GBU-43, which he said   
   contains 11 tons of explosives. The Air Force calls it the   
   Massive Ordnance Air Blast bomb. Based on the acronym, it has   
   been nicknamed the "Mother Of All Bombs."   
      
   Stump says the bomb was dropped on a cave complex believed to be   
   used by IS fighters in the Achin district of Nangarhar province,   
   very close to the border with Pakistan.
