IBM spokesperson Matt Mollett as saying that IBM “continuously transforms its business, rebalancing skills and capabilities in order to meet the changing needs of clients and our business as a whole.” He also said IBM would "continue to hire in 2010, and ... end the year with more employees than when the year began.”

If you look closely at the statement "He also said IBM would "continue to hire in 2010, and ... end the year with more employees than when the year began.”" this does not state anything about the jobs being located in the US.
