david lee miller live in our middle east bureau with more. hi, david. >> reporter: hi, julie.pite the rising death toll and the immense power of this bomb, there were -- according to afghan officials -- no civilian casualties. afghanistan's president says a key reason for this was the cooperation between the pentagon and afghan officials. now, the airstrike using a bomb called a moab, a massive ordinance air blast -- that's m-o-a-b -- targeted tunnels and caves used by isis in a remote area near the pakistan border. at least four of those who were killed were said to be isis group leaders. u.s. officials now estimate there are about 800 isis fighters in afghanistan, and the general in charge of u.s. operations there says the group was terrorizing the local population, even attacking people in mosques and hospitals. many who lived in the area where the airstrike took place have come forward urging more attacks against isis, but not everyone is pleased. the country's former president, hamid karzai, accused the current president of treasonning for cooperating with the united stat

david lee, thank you. arthel: we are joined by general jack keane. thank you for being here, general keane. as david lee miller was reporting, this could not have happened without inside assistance. how did they pull this off? you have the gunman reportedly wearing afghan army or military uniforms. how will this affect troops on the ground? >> i don't think we know if they had inside assistance. but they were posing as soldiers, they were able to go inside a mosque with suicide vests on. this is the most significant attack on the afghan military since the war began. this war is not going well. this war is no longer winnable. it hasn't been winnable for a number of years. and it's a disgrace we can be at this point after 16 years. the united states of america, its military supporting the afghan people and afghan army. largely driven by obama's policies of not giving the generals the support they wanted to have. pulling the forces out 15 months later. those two decisions doomed afghanistan for a protracted war. then we pulled most our forces out in the last 15 years. anti-i.e.d., medevac, apatch eef helicopters.

david lee miller live with more. why use it now against isis there?bill, this is a unique weapon not just because of the fire power but because of the ability to intimidate enemies. this bomb was designed but not used during the iraqi war. one of the considerations was its psychological impact. the blast was thought to be so powerful that opposition forces would simply be too terrified to fight. this was the most powerful non-nuclear weapon ever used by the u.s. military in actual combat. the 21,600 pound bomb is satellite guided contains the impact of 11 tons of tnt. the bomb is so large it has to be dropped from a cargo plane. detonates in the air and designed for soft targets such as the caves and tunnels being used by isis near the pakistan border. in less than a second all the oxygen is sucked out killing those below. the force of the blast can also kill as well as destroy infrastructure. at least 36 isis fighters were killed. while the explosion is so powerful the mushroom cloud can be seen from at least 20 miles away it is nowhere near as power
