Man
Saturday's attack also marked the first use of newly-developed "thermobaric" bombs. The 2,000-pound bombs use two explosions to achieve their desired effect. First, the bomb penetrates a cave or tunnel and scatters explosive dust. A fraction of a second later, a second, larger explosion sucks the oxygen from the area.

Some crazy stuff we come up with...Wish I had one of these back when my ex girlfriend cheated on me...Just kinda...ok not really...a little one maybe.....

Correct me if I am wrong, but aren't these just really big fuel-air bombs?

I think they are similar but I'm not sure of the details.
