Here's the reference... "...Israeli secret services believed the terrorist network in the Balkans was a part of the global Islamic terrorist network and consisted of some 6,000 terrorists."
What you call placing the number in context is spinning a poorly worded sentence.
Tty this...""...Israeli secret services believed the terrorist network in the Balkans consisted of some 6,000 terrorists and was a part of the global Islamic terrorist network."
So, I'll say again, if you think the 6,000 applies world-wide you are delusional or a rather poor spinner.
