After he makes a kill, JUBA vanishes. When the area has been secured by fearful Coalition forces only his calling cards are found: a single bullet casing and a note in Arabic that reads "What has been taken in blood cannot be regained except by blood. The Baghdad Sniper."
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.

Video shows snipers' chilling work in Iraq
5:37 a.m. EDT, October 19, 2006
(CNN) ― Chilling scenes from a videotape made by insurgents show the work of snipers in Iraq, targeting and killing American troops, taking them down with a single bullet from a high-powered rifle.
The graphic video of 10 sniper attacks was obtained by CNN ― through intermediaries ― from the Islamic Army of Iraq, one of the most active insurgent organizations in Iraq.
In one scene, U.S. soldiers mingle among Iraqi civilians on a city street as a U.S. Humvee with a gunner in its turret stands guard nearby.
From a distance, possibly hundreds of yards away, a sniper watches for his opportunity to strike as a fellow insurgent operates a camera to capture the video for propaganda purposes.
In the video, street sounds mix with male Arabic voices as the sniper and his spotter talk off-camera.
"People are around them," warns the spotter, who seems to be operating the video camera. "Want me to find another place?"
"No, no," comes the reply, "give me a moment."
And then, the crack of gunfire is heard and the soldier in the turret slumps forward.
"Allahu Akbar (God is Great)!" is the exclamation as the sniper's vehicle starts and they slip away.
The deadly tactic is one the U.S. military also uses to take out insurgents.
Retired Gunnery Sgt. Jack Coughlin was one of the top U.S. Marine Corps snipers in Iraq and has written a book about his experiences ― "Shooter: The Autobiography of the Top-Ranked Marine Sniper."
"I have over 60 kills," he told CNN's Gary Tuchman. "We seek out the enemy and eliminate them with precision fire."
Tuchman used Coughlin's critical eye to analyze the Islamic Army of Iraq video.
Coughlin said the time lapse between the sound of the shot and the man getting hit indicates the gunfire is coming from about 300 to 500 yards away and probably from a higher angle.
But Couglin said he's sure this team of at least three people has been trained well because they're so calm.
"They have their stuff wired," he said. "They know what they're doing." (Watch the ex-Marine describe snipers' deadly work ― 2:46)
The 20-year Marine veteran said the kind of body armor worn by troops in combat can be effective against a sniper's bullet, and he added that there are other ways to defend against the horrifying attacks.
"The worst enemy of a sniper is another sniper," Coughlin said. "Our snipers are hunting these guys ― I guarantee you this is happening as we speak."
Coughlin added that, in many cases, the best defense is a good offense.
