Juba (sniper)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
"Juba" is the nickname that the Iraqi insurgency have given to a supposed member of their forces who is alleged to be an accurate sniper, claiming to have killed and wounded up to a hundred United States soldiers. The sniper fires only once before moving from his position, leaving behind little evidence of his whereabouts.
Juba's existence has not been proven by any military source. U.S. soldiers have been led to believe that each sniper attack was carried out by the same individual, which is what gave rise to the idea of "Juba." Every time such an incident has occurred, a single cartridge case and a note have been found at the location where the sniper was believed to have been. The message says, in Arabic, "What has been taken in blood cannot be regained except by blood. Baghdad Sniper." These items were found after the sniper attack when buildings were searched by U.S. forces. It is not yet known whether "Juba" is a single sniper, whether "Juba" represents a copycat phenomenon carried out by multiple individuals, or if "Juba" in fact exists at all.
In November 2005, the insurgent group Islamic Army in Iraq released video clips containing images of United States soldiers falling to the ground, allegedly due to Juba's attacks. The content of these clips has not been verified as showing the actions of "Juba."

Hm, that's terrible. I don't see the need of posting such videos in the ATS forums. It's worth the trash bin, or BTS at best.
