The Afghan Ambassador to the US was on CNN today and gave more information on the fight against ISIS in these underground cave and tunnel structures <br /> <br />In short, Mohib said that in the last week there was a joint operation to clear that underground area, but ISIS had mined the caves heavily with IEDs. <br /> <br />I think that would explain why the US used a concussive pressure bomb on the complex, to explode the IEDs and collapse the cave network. <br /> <br />As Mohib points out, it was their hideout that was the main target. Now they have to surface and thus will be easier to track. <br /> <br />So basically we just drove the cockroaches out of the darkness and into the light.
