United States considered that killed close to 6,000 fighters in air strikes international coalition against members of the armed group Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant in Iraq and Syria, said US Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel.

The first man of the Pentagon, however, warned against resorting to counting bodies as a measure of progress in the war against ISIL's, the AFP quoted.

Estimate how many fighters ISIL eliminated in air strikes for the first time said US Ambassador to Iraq Stewart Jones, in an interview on Thursday media reported from Saudi Arabia.

The issue of civilian victims

There is no any independent verification of the Pentagon estimates of the number of victims of air strikes in the ranks of ISIL and it remains unclear how many civilians "may unintentionally killed in the same attack. '

But, if it's true, it would mean that the international coalition inflicted astonishing damage ISIL-in from the start of air strikes in Iraq on August 8 in Syria on 23 September, the AFP reports.
