1. The US military released cockpit video of Thursday’s bombing in Afghanistan. The MOAB bomb, nicknamed "the Mother of All Bombs", was dropped on a network of tunnels used by Islamic State fighters. It’s the largest non-nuclear bomb in the US arsenal1. The US and NATO commander in Afghanistan Friday defended the use of bomb, calling it “The right weapon against the right target”.
2. Police in Wisconsin say they’ve arrested the man suspected of stealing guns and sending President Donald Trump2 a manifesto3 with plans to launch attacks. Police found him in a town in southwestern Wisconsin. He was arrested without incident.
3. And in Las Vegas, flames ripped across the roof of the iconic Bellagio hotel-Casino. Gusty4 winds fanned the fire, forcing evacuations inside shops in the mall. There were no injuries reported.
4. It’s a bird, it’s a plane. No, it’s marshmallows falling from the sky. Kids in Trenton, Michigan scrambled5 to snatch up the gooey treats at the city’s annual marshmallow drop. The kids were told not to eat the marshmallows, however, because they fell on the ground.
