That sounds like a total of 55 arrested and two key leaders killed.
All in a day's work. And notice, it seems the Iraqi forces were taking the lead on this.

55 killed and 2 arrested would be 53 killed better.

Besides killing and capturing Al Qaeda leaders/followers, notice in the article that documents were captured. Documents are the heart of intelligence and if they also captured cell phones, computers, notebooks, etc., you can bet that the enemy casualty figures will be higher, and the sooner, the better.
You have no idea how many enemy documents were captured in Vietnam and Cambodia (for the latter, an estimated ONE million pages in May 1970).
