Turning the US ambassador to Iraq, Stuart Jones, of this figure during an interview broadcast Thursday channel "Arab", as a US military source confirmed that this estimate is true.
But Secretary of Defense, Chuck Hagel, refused, on Thursday, confirmed this during a press conference at the Pentagon, only Hegel said, "We know that thousands of fighters to organize Daash have been killed, and we know that some of the leaders of this organization were also killed."
He said that the casualties inflicted organized Daash is not a good way to gauge the effectiveness of a military campaign, recalling the bad memories of the Vietnam War.
If confirmed number six thousand dead it represents the equivalent of 20 to 30% of the organization Daash fighters, according to CIA estimates in 2014.
