IS-Krieg: Zwischenfazit
(11.05.2015)
Defense One (via Bpb-Newsletter) berichtet über eine Art Zwischenbilanz der bisherigen Kriegsaktivitäten gegen den Islamischen Staat: “[…] 8,500 IS militants had been killed. The Pentagon lists more than 6,000 IS targets as having been destroyed. Most notably, CENTCOM press releases indicate that more than 500 ‚excavators‘ have been destroyed — as if IS is the world’s first terrorist landscaping company. All of this destruction is coming at a direct cost to taxpayers of an estimated $2.11 billion, or $8.6 million per day.“ (jw)
