Outrageous! Why Didn't CNN Report JUBA,American Soldier Sniper Had been Captured?

Outrageous! Why Didn't CNN Report That The Infamous JUBA (the Alleged American Soldier Sniper in Islamic Army of Iraq) Had been Captured?

"CNN has no problem showing snuff films of American soldiers being taken out by insurgent snipers while conversing with Iraqis in the streets, but they can't report that the most famous of these despictable thugs is captured! No where in the mainstream media was this reported. It is nowhere on the internet except on Wikipedia." G. Cusumano

"On November 29, 2006, a man named Ali Nazar Al-Jubori (or Mazar Jubouri) was arrested by the Iraqi interior ministry and declared to be "the sniper of Baghdad". Wikipedia

Juba (sniper) In reference to yesterday's posting about:Video shows snipers' chilling work in Iraq - CNN.com ... show the work of snipers in Iraq, targeting and killing American troops, ... the Islamic Army of Iraq, one of the most active insurgent organizations in Iraq. ...www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/meast/10/19/iraq.sniper.video/index.html Juba (sniper)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search "Juba" is the nom de guerre of an alleged sniper involved in the Iraqi insurgency featured in several propaganda videos. In the most recent, he claims to have shot 37 American soldiers [1]. Whether Juba is a real individual is unknown, but the sheer number of attacks claimed and the arrest or capture of at least two people claimed to be Juba suggests he may be a fictional composite of several insurgents.

Videos Several video clips which show the actions of Juba have been circulated through the internet.

] First video In November 2005, a video which was circulating in Iraq appeared on the internet. [2] The video, attributed to the Islamic Army in Iraq, showed United States soldiers falling to the ground, allegedly due to attacks by Juba.

Also circulating was a video clip showing nine shootings of men appearing to be US soldiers. The video starts with a character saying, "I have nine bullets in this gun and I have a present for George Bush. I am going to kill nine people. I am doing this for the viewers to watch. God is great. God is great." With that, he makes his way from the vehicle, and a series of separate scenes begin, showing several individuals shot in action.

[ Second video A second "Juba" video was distributed in 2006 in western Baghdad and released on the internet in late October 2006. The video contained an interview with the supposed self-styled commander of the Baghdad sniper division, footage shows numerous fighters being trained in the use of sniper rifles. The video discusses the alleged fear generated in coalition forces by insurgency snipers, and shows "Juba" returning from a sniping mission, marking a tally of 37 on a wall. The sniper then sits down to make a diary entry. The video claims that there are dozens of snipers operating within the Islamic Army of Iraq and other factions, and shows more being trained. The rest of the video shows numerous clips of US soldiers allegedly being sniped, and the 'Baghdad sniper commander' explaining that his men are inspired and trained to an extent based on the information in the book The Ultimate Sniper by retired Major and US Army sniper John Plaster.

] Rumors of capture It has been rumored that "Juba" may have been captured on June 2, 2005. An Iraqi sniper, in a van at a distance of 75-100 metres away from American soldier Stephen Tschiderer, shot at him using a rifle with a telescopic sight. Tschiderer was hit, but his injuries were minimal due to his body armor [2] Soldiers from the B Company, 4th Battalion, 1st Iraqi Army Brigade unit began searching the insurgents (allegedly the sniper and the driver who videotapes the attacks). [3] [4]

The army located the van and discovered a cushioned sniping nest. This nest was lined with numerous bed mattresses to muffle the sound of a Dragunov sniper rifle [5], which was used to fire through a hole just big enough for the shooter to engage his target of choice. The driver of the van was detained and the wounded shooter was captured after a short pursuit by Tschiderer and B Company.

On November 29, 2006, a man named Ali Nazar Al-Jubori (or Mazar Jubouri) was arrested by the Iraqi interior ministry and declared to be "the sniper of Baghdad". [6][7]

Blogs Many websites and blogs from different countries talk about "Juba the Sniper", providing stories, pictures and movie clips which feature soldiers Juba has supposedly sniped. There is no evidence that any of these websites have any link to Juba, though some of them claim to have been written by Juba himself.

http://www.archive.org/details/jubainiraq ____________________________________________________________________________ Islamic Army in Iraq Releases Video Featuring Sniper Attacks including Interview of "Juba, the Baghdad Sniper" By SITE Institute October 22, 2006

Today, October 22, 2006, the Islamic Army in Iraq issued a 28:24 minute English-subtitled video featuring sniper attacks on American soldiers and an interview with the “commander of the sniper brigade in Baghdad.” Titled “Baghdad Sniper,” the video opens with a scene of the alleged sniper setting down his weapons and entering thoughts into a journal.

As for the importance of sniper attacks, the “commander” states: “the Islamic Army decided to pay more attention to [the sniper rifle], because it does make a huge impact on the battlefield . . . also filming the operations is very important, because the scene that shows the falling soldier when hit has more impact on the enemy than any other weapon.”

The “commander” notes Western media attention to retired marine sniper Major John Plaster, and to his book, The Ultimate Sniper, “which is one of the main books we use to train our snipers.” Major Plaster is also the creator of four instructional videos on sniper tactics.

Interspersed between narrations of his writing and the interview, American soldiers are shown during the surveillance and attack stages of the sniper’s operation. “Juba” refers to the nickname American forces gave the insurgent sniper in Baghdad.

A note at the end of the video reads “This CD distributed for free in Iraq.”

Mujahedeen vow in statement to give American civilians taste of what civilians in Iraq go through.

DUBAI - The Islamic Army in Iraq, one of the main armed groups fighting US forces in the war-torn country, has threatened to carry out attacks inside the United States, according to a statement posted on a website Monday.

This year "will bring woes on America. The mujahedeen (holy warriors) have prepared big surprises for your sons outside America and a big surprise for you inside America," said the statement whose authenticity could not be confirmed.

The statement appeared to mark a disturbing shift in strategy by the shadowy Sunni Muslim group which has claimed a number of attacks and killings of hostages in Iraq, including an Italian journalist and two Pakistanis.

The mujahedeen "will take the battle from inside our country (Iraq) to yours," the statement said.

"We address you after you finished celebrating the new year, hoping that you are no longer drunk ... We will give American civilians a taste of what civilians in our country go through," said the statement, presented as a "message to the American people."

The message, which described the American people as "uncivilized" and "ignorant," claimed that "the whole world" hates America.

"Are you aware that the number of those who support striking America on its own turf has greatly increased?" it said.

"Last year was a picnic for your soldiers (in Iraq). The year 2005 will witness a quantitative and qualitative change in the operations against your army, which will go down in history," the statement said.

The Islamic Army was one of three radical Islamist groups, along with the Al-Qaeda linked Ansar Al-Sunna and the previously unknown Army of the Mujahedeen, which warned in an Internet statement last week they would strike at anyone taking part in the January 30 elections in Iraq.

"Those who participate in this dirty farce will not be sheltered from the blows of the mujahedeen," said the statement.

"Juba" the Baghdad Sniper Captured!
mypetjawa@gmail.com

Nov. 30, 2006 (The Jawa Report delivered by Newstex) -- mypetjawa v. 2.0 (beta) "Tolerance becomes a crime when applied to evil." -- Thomas Mann

The Iraqi Ministry of the Interior announced that it has captured the Baghdad sniper known as Ali Nazar al Jubori. The name sounds eerily familiar. al Jubori....could this be the original Juba sniper? That is the claim being made.

Let me remind my readers that the "Juba the Baghdad sniper" does not exist--at least, not in the heroic sense that the jihadi crowd has painted him as. He's a myth. A piece of fictional propaganda produced by terrorists. A heroic superman for the al Qaeda supporters of the world.

This is not to say that there never was an al Qaeda linked sniper in Iraq who got the nickname "Juba", only that the popular videos showing "his" work are really compilations of not only different snipers, but also of different terror organizations. We know this because the "Juba top 10 video" shows previously released material from several different known terror groups and that at least one of the snipers who's work is shown in the video was later arrested.

But like many heroes, there may actually be a man behind the myth. Al Jubori may actually be the original "Juba". In fact, a recent video proported to show the real "Juba" and included interviews with the Baghdad sniper. We'll see.

If it is "Juba", then this is an important moral victory for the US and anti-terrorist forces in Iraq. Juba is a real hero to many in the Salafi terrror supporting community.

There were several websites devoted to Juba, and which were alleged to be run by him (although I doubt that), and which were based in the US. They were bought and paid for by someone claiming to be a member of the terrorist organization knows as the Islamic Army in Iraq (IAI)--which has links to al Qaeda. Oh, but thanks to Jawa Report readers, those websites are down.

Of course, not all of Juba's webzines are down. Only those that were commercially bought and paid for by the IAI. There is still one website up, provided for free by the Google owned Blogger/blogspot platform. That's right, Google continues to host a terrorist's website--or one proported to be run by him.

We've begged and pleaded with blogspot over this and other terrorist websites to no avail. They literally help the enemy while wrapping themselves under the veil of the First Amendment. The best we could do was set up an alternative Juba website.

Interestingly enough, I found this information from Michelle Malkin, who I believe doesn't yet know the value of the press release she was sent from CENTCOM (UPDATE: Now she does). The purpose of the press release was to counter stories by the AP which seem to be false. But buried down in it is this from Brig. Gen. Abdul Kareem Khalaf Al-Kenani, Ministry of Interior spokesman:The third subject is, this week the strikes we made against the al-Qaeda terrorist organization in Baghdad were many and very strong in Baghdad. Before my arrival to this press conference, I was informed that one of the three who were just captured or detained is Mazer Al-Jubouri, aka the Baghdad Sniper, and his group. He admitted many things that are very important and very dangerous and our forces used this information about his network and conducted raids in the past 24 hours and detained 30 terrorists.

Those terrorists executed several explosions in Palestine and Beirut streets, and the New Baghdad area. He also admitted that their base is in Diyala province, which supplied them with money, weapons and explosives. They are now under investigation and we think this cell or network has been dismantled.

Expect updates.
