In a show of military might seemingly aimed at intimidating Iraq's armed forces, the US has tested one of the most powerful non-nuclear weapons ever developed.
The bomb detonated on Tuesday at a test site at Eglin Air Force Base in northwest Florida, generating a shock wave felt several kilometres away. Officials said the bomb could be used in Iraq.
The new weapon is named the Massive Ordnance Air Burst (MOAB), but has also been dubbed the "Mother of All Bombs". The 9.7-tonne device contains only conventional explosives, but creates a mushroom cloud and a shockwave similar to that of a small nuclear explosion. It has blast range of several hundred metres.

Of course, you could make your own fuel air bomb
