The Juba Sniper legend
Juba is the nickname given byAmerican forces to an Iraqi Resistance sniper operating in southern Baghdad. The US forces do not know his appearance, nationality or real name, but they sure fear his skills...
They have never seen him: they just hear him, but by then it's too late when a shot rings out and another US soldier slumps dead or wounded. So far he has KILLED 143 US soldiers, 5 of whom were officers and 6 were other Snipers trying to kill him and wounded 54 more...
There never is a follow-up shot, never a chance for US forces to identify the origin of the shot, to make the hunter the hunted. He fires once and vanishes. Juba is unusual in targeting only coalition troops, a difficult quarry protected by armoured vehicles, body armour and helmets.
He waits for soldiers to dismount, or stand up in a Humvee turret, and aims for gaps in their body armour, the lower spine, ribs or above the chest. He has killed from 200 metres away.
"It was the perfect shot," the battalion commander, Lt Col Kevin Farrell, said of one incident. "Blew out the spine.
