Snowden: MOAB Destroyed Afghan Bunker Built By CIA

Local Editor

The Pentagon's recent test in Afghanistan of a powerful non-nuclear bomb, nicknamed "The Mother of All Bombs" [MOAB], targeted tunnels that were possibly built by the US, former NSA contractor Edward Snowden wrote on his Twitter page.

Destroying evidence? The US just spent $314 million to destroy the terrorist cave complex which the CIA built with help from Bin Laden.

The media is awash with enthusiastic reports that the US military had employed the largest conventional bomb ever designed, the Massive Ordnance Air Blast bomb or MOAB [18,000 lbs. of explosive, 22,000 lbs. total weight] on a cave-bunker complex in near Tora Bora in Afghanistan - the same place Osama bin Laden was supposedly hiding not long after 9-11.

The US said the complex was being used by the Wahhabi Daesh [Arabic acronym for "ISIS" / "ISIL"].

US President Trump is receiving credit for the bombing, both from supporters and opponents, though he told the press he did not personally give the order.
Nevertheless, the bombing seems to fit into Trump's declared strategy for fighting terrorism.

Only one thing is being left out of the media reports. How did Daesh [or al-Qaeda or whichever terrorists the US is secretly backing] get such a wonderful bunker complex to begin with?

Ed Snowden wrote: "Those ‘mujahedeen' tunnel networks we're bombing in Afghanistan? We paid for them," attaching an excerpt from a 2005 New York Times article, which suggested that the construction of the Tora Bora cave complex in the province of Nangarhar was financed by the CIA in 1980. At that period, Washington supported the militants, who fought against the Soviet military in the country.

According to earlier media reports, a 9.5-tonne GBU-43/B MOAB, was dropped at 7 p.m. local time Thursday. The bomb was dropped by an MC-130 aircraft, operated by Air Force Special Operations Command. CNN reported citing its military sources that "the target was ‘ISIS' tunnels and personnel in the Achin district of the Nangarhar province."

So $314 million to destroy, and untold millions more to build.
