Pope Francis has criticized the naming of the U.S. military’s biggest non-nuclear explosive as “Mother of All Bombs”, saying the word “mother” should not be used in reference to any deadly weapon.
The Pope said an audience of students on Saturday: “I was ashamed when I heard the name.
“A mother gives life and this one gives death, and we call this device a mother. What is happening?”
The U.S. Air Force dropped one of the bombs, officially designated as the GBU-43 Massive Ordnance Air Blast (MOAB) on suspected Islamic State fighters in eastern Afghanistan in April. The nickname was widely used in briefings and reporting on the attack.
