Because Locus says he took care of the guy in charge. However you have a point in that there's no evidence it was Sam.

As for counting them... there was Jackson's team of 4, I can spot 7 with Locus (though he may have had more with him), two of which were killed (however we also don't know if any of them were the same people from Jackson's team, he did order them to come back after all), and then 4 at the place Carolina raided. Oh, and Harv if you count him. And then Locus has a scout team and they say they have snipers watching the generals. So yeah.

nnnot sure why the number really matters though
