Stardate 20011012.0313 (On Screen): I think we've started using fuel-air bombs in Afghanistan. This report says:
About four hours later, U.S. planes struck again. A fireball was seen from the direction of Rishkore, an al-Qaida training base near Kabul. The camp has been empty for months, but buildings, training facilities and offices remain.
If the camp really was abandoned, then there wouldn't be anything on the ground to create a fireball (i.e. a cache of gasoline or ammunition). Conventional HE munitions don't make a fireball; they go off in a very bright flash. Either the camp wasn't actually abandoned, or we've started using the most effective non-nuclear area affect weapon in our arsenal. That would also explain some of the "nothing left standing" before-and-after pictures showing bombing effects which have been released by the Pentagon. (discuss)
