"The U.S.-led coalition against ISIS has recorded more than 10,000 ISIS deaths since the campaign against the extremist group began nine months ago, U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Tony Blinken told France Inter radio.

Blinken's remarks came in an interview given Tuesday after coalition members joined Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi for a conference in Paris that assessed progress in the campaign.

Asked whether Iraqi forces backed by the coalition were capable of standing up to ISIS, Blinken said they could.

"Indeed, when you act against a force like Daesh, which is a terrorist force with a totalitarian ideology, and that does not fear death, we recorded an enormous loss for Daesh. More than 10,000 since this campaign started. And this will eventually have an effect.''

(Daesh is another name for ISIS that is widely used by European and Arab allies and is despised by the terrorist group.)

Still, the CIA's estimate that there are between 20,000 and 32,000 total ISIS fighters holds, U.S. intelligence officials say. That's because, according to the officials, ISIS is able to "adequately replace" slain fighters through a combination of conscription and recruitment both inside and outside of Syria and Iraq.

U.S. authorities have been wary of stating publicly how many ISIS militants are thought to have been killed since the campaign began.

U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Stuart Jones told Al Arabiya television in January that an estimated 6,000 fighters had been killed...."




Jihadists close Iraq dam gates (skynews, June 3, 2015)

"Islamic State group jihadists have closed the gates of a dam in the Iraqi city of Ramadi, posing a humanitarian and security threat.

IS fighters have repeatedly attempted to control dams in Iraq, in some cases reducing the flow of water to areas under government control or flooding swathes of land to impede military operations.

Anbar provincial council chief Sabah Karhout says IS has closed all the gates at a dam in Ramadi, capital of Iraq's largest province, which the jihadists seized last month.

The move lowered the level of the Euphrates River and cut water supplies to the areas of Khaldiyah and Habbaniyah to the east, which are some of the last held by pro-government forces in Anbar."
