WASHINGTON, April 8 (UPI) -- The U.S. Air Force is dropping fewer bombs in Afghanistan, reflecting a change in tactics against insurgents, military statistics indicate.
Air Force data shows that the overall tonnage of munitions dropped onto Afghanistan in 2008 was 1,314 tons, reversing a trend from 2004 to 2007 that saw tonnage figures jump 1,100 percent from 163 tons to 1,956 tons, USA Today reported Wednesday.
