The 2,000-pound "smart" bomb that killed two U.S. special forces troops
and injured 20 others in Afghanistan on December 5, 2001 is one of the
most modern and precise weapons in America's military arsenal. Such
"JDAMs" (joint direct attack munitions) bombs, which are dropped in
both 1,000-pound and 2,000-pound versions, were developed after the
1991 Gulf War for more precise day and night use against ground targets
through fog, clouds or other bad weather. A JDAM cluster is shown in
this undated Air Force photograph. REUTERS/USAF/Handout
