U.S. Bombings in Afghanistan Approached Record Levels in 2018
-------------------------------------------------------------

more bombs on Afghanistan than in any other year in at least a decade.
U.S. Central Command says its fighters, bombers and drones released
nearly 7,400 weapons last year, as President Trump gave U.S. generals
wide latitude to carry out airstrikes without White House review.
