Short filmTranscript
00:00In 2003, after the American invasion of Iraq, Saddam Hussein's regime fell apart, leading
00:07to the collapse of the state.
00:09However, from this chaos, a resistance movement arose.
00:12This movement fought back against the invading forces for years.
00:15Within this resistance, a legendary fighter emerged.
00:19This fighter became known as the Baghdad Sniper, or Juba the Sniper.
00:23Over time, he created confusion and fear among the American military and special forces,
00:28no matter what advanced equipment they had.
00:30Why do you think American soldiers were so anxious about this powerful sniper, Juba?
00:34And why did they create a rival legend in Chris Kyle?
00:37Was Juba ever captured by American forces?
00:39We'll tackle these questions soon, so stay tuned for some fascinating details.
00:44And don't forget to subscribe to our channel and hit the notification bell, so you won't
00:48miss any of our upcoming videos.
00:50Let's dive into the story.
00:56One day in 2003, right after the American invasion of Iraq, a group of American soldiers
01:01was traveling through the streets of Baghdad in their armored vehicle, heading back to
01:05base.
01:06Suddenly, a sharp shot struck the driver in the head, causing the vehicle to swerve and
01:10crash into a pile of rocks by the side of the road.
01:12The soldiers quickly jumped out, unsure of where the shots were coming from.
01:16Then another shot rang out, taking the life of another soldier.
01:20It became clear they were up against a sniper.
01:23Although they tried to locate him, he remained hidden.
01:26When they finally identified the direction of the shots, they fired back.
01:30But the sniper stayed hidden, picking them off one by one.
01:34It felt like they were being hunted by a ghost from afar.
01:38The soldiers sought refuge in nearby buildings, trying to escape the relentless sniper.
01:43But there was no safe place.
01:44The elite sniper continued his attack, shooting from the windows.
01:48When the soldiers went to the roof to spot him, a rain of bullets came down, killing
01:52them one by one.
01:54This sniper showed incredible skill, moving swiftly between buildings and setting up in
01:58new spots, always hitting his targets.
02:01In another incident, a battalion of American forces conducted searches in Iraqi homes,
02:06claiming they were looking for terrorists.
02:07In truth, these were brave resistance fighters defending their land against the occupiers.
02:12The elite sniper quickly learned about this and geared up for action.
02:16He positioned himself strategically, striking the enemy with incredible accuracy.
02:21One by one, he took down American soldiers.
02:23Whenever they figured out where he was firing from and shot back, he would swiftly change
02:28locations, making it impossible for them to track him.
02:31His speed and precision were a nightmare for the soldiers, forcing entire battalions to
02:36retreat in embarrassment.
02:37A single man standing against a whole battalion with the latest weapons was an incredible
02:42sight.
02:43The legendary Baghdad sniper was said to have caused tremendous losses for the American
02:47military.
02:48His terrifying presence earned him the nickname Juba.
02:51Interestingly, this name comes from a dance performed by some Africans, known as the Dance
02:56of Death.
02:57It's fitting, as when Juba was on the battlefield, American soldiers scattered like dancers trying
03:02to dodge his bullets.
03:04Juba bewildered the American forces for several years, inflicting massive casualties.
03:11According to Iraqi resistance sources, it's estimated he might have killed between 650
03:16and 700 American soldiers from 2003 until his disappearance in 2006 or 2007.
03:23Just imagine, one person against 700 soldiers, that's an astonishing number.
03:30Juba remains a mysterious figure, with no one knowing his real name or face.
03:34The image you see is likely a popular representation, but it may not be accurate.
03:38Some sources claim he was from Al-Nuqayb in the Anbar province.
03:41His real name was Ahmal Anzi, a member of the Ana tribe, which has a presence in Iraq,
03:46Saudi Arabia, and even Syria.
03:49Before the invasion, he was a soldier in the Iraqi army, and after that, he joined the
03:53resistance.
03:54Apart from that, there are some other theories regarding Juba's true identity.
03:59There are many who argue Juba is not a single person.
04:02They believe that multiple snipers adopted the name Juba to confuse and mislead US forces.
04:08This ambiguity only adds to the legend, making it difficult to separate fact from fiction.
04:14Juba targeted various objectives, whether they were battalions, vehicles, or armored cars.
04:19After striking, he would relocate to carefully chosen hiding spots, making it hard for the
04:23enemy to spot him.
04:24He usually set up about 200 to 300 meters away from his targets, a significant distance
04:30that made it tough for them to pinpoint him.
04:32Juba was often referred to as the Ghost of Baghdad, due to his ability to strike fear
04:37into the hearts of American soldiers while seemingly vanishing without a trace.
04:42His incredible marksmanship and elusive nature led to tales of him appearing and disappearing
04:47almost like a ghost, which heightened the fear and uncertainty among US troops operating
04:52in Iraq.
04:53He used an Iraqi-made rifle called the Tabuk, a modified version of a Russian sniper rifle.
04:59While this weapon wasn't considered advanced and typically had a range of about 200 meters,
05:04some reports say Juba could hit targets from as far as 500 meters.
05:09Nevertheless, he chose to engage at around 200 meters to ensure maximum accuracy.
05:14Once he selected his position, Juba would open fire quickly, hitting his targets before
05:19they realized what was happening.
05:21He focused on the neck and head to ensure his shots were deadly.
05:25His accuracy was remarkable, and it was rare for him to miss.
05:28When Juba fired at American soldiers, they often tried to dodge the shots, leading to
05:33chaotic scenes.
05:34According to reports, an American general advised his troops to dance to avoid his bullets.
05:39Initially, the soldiers tried to throw smoke bombs to block the sniper's view and take
05:44cover behind the smoke.
05:45However, they struggled to locate him because of his expert concealment skills.
05:49He would be long gone before they ever spotted him.
05:52Legend has it that when soldiers arrived at the sniper's previous location, they found
05:56empty shell casings and a note written in Arabic on a black and white background, declaring
06:01that the Baghdad sniper had been there.
06:04Each empty casing represented a victim.
06:06When American soldiers compared their body count to the sniper's kills, they realized
06:10the numbers matched, proving that Juba had not missed a single shot.
06:15American forces became desperate in their fight against Juba.
06:18They armored their vehicles and even reinforced their own bodies for better protection.
06:23But Juba didn't let up.
06:25He targeted their weak spots, the joints, neck, and lower back, where they couldn't
06:29adequately shield themselves.
06:31It was as if he had an instinct for finding their vulnerabilities.
06:35Juba, the Baghdad sniper, was a mystery for the American forces.
06:40They even put a huge bounty on his head, offering up to $40,000 to anyone who could provide
06:44information leading to his capture.
06:47In response, Juba flipped the script and offered a staggering $100,000 to any American soldier
06:52who could show their face from a tank or an armored vehicle.
06:56His challenge was clear, show your face and it will be the last thing you see.
07:00It was a direct threat, a bold defiance.
07:04Over the years, four video excerpts emerged, almost like films made by the Iraqi resistance
07:09between 2005 and 2007.
07:12These films, titled Juba, Baghdad Sniper, depicted some of Juba's sniper operations
07:18against American soldiers.
07:20Although we won't detail these scenes due to potential issues, they showcased how Juba
07:24executed his sniper missions and documented training sessions for various resistance sniper
07:29groups, many of whom were likely trained by Juba himself.
07:33He represented an elite group, striking fear into the hearts of his enemies.
07:38The stories about his exploits and the excerpts circulating inspired courage among fellow
07:42fighters while sowing doubt among American troops.
07:45In essence, it was a form of psychological warfare.
07:48In retaliation, the U.S. military aimed to create its own legend to rival Juba.
07:52This new figure was Chris Kyle, an elite sniper who became a symbol of hope and pride
07:57for American soldiers.
07:59Reports from the military claim he took out 160 individuals during the Iraq war, although
08:05the real number is likely closer to 250.
08:10Chris Kyle earned a reputation as one of the deadliest snipers in U.S. military history.
08:16There are accounts suggesting that Kyle shot women and even children, with some claiming
08:21that his first kill was a woman.
08:23These individuals were said to be carrying explosives or pose threats to American forces.
08:28The military took pride in him, promoting his name worldwide.
08:31He became a legend and a movie titled American Sniper, released in 2014, depicted him as
08:37a hero fighting against terrorists.
08:40Even the Hollywood movie American Sniper featured an actor portraying Juba.
08:44You might wonder why, in a film intended to glorify the American sniper, they would include
08:49Juba and highlight his skills.
08:51This is what happens when your enemy becomes a legend.
08:54Even when trying to celebrate your own army and hero, it's hard to ignore the abilities
08:58of your opponent.
08:59Otherwise, viewers would see the dishonesty in the narrative.
09:03If this American film shows Juba as a formidable force, it raises questions about the reality
09:08of the situation.
09:09Juba was a legendary fighter, often overlooked, while Chris Kyle could not reach Juba's level
09:14of notoriety.
09:15Towards the end of the film, Juba is portrayed as a terrorist in an attempt to compare him
09:21to Kyle.
09:22They depict Kyle taking out Juba with a long-range rifle.
09:25While this may fit within the film's story, in reality, only fate could determine if Kyle
09:30or anyone else could have killed Juba, or even come close to him in battle.
09:34A quick comparison reveals the true nature of each man.
09:37Chris Kyle was a soldier in an occupying army while Juba was defending his homeland.
09:42Kyle had all the support available, advanced weaponry, armored vehicles, aircraft and satellites.
09:48In contrast, Juba relied on his faith and his fellow fighters.
09:52While Kyle reportedly took down about 250 people, Juba is estimated to have eliminated
09:58around 700 soldiers.
10:00When it comes to strategy, concealment and tactical intelligence, Juba stands out as
10:05the victor.
10:06The Americans tried to craft the image of their sniper through various films and narratives
10:11but matching the legendary status of Juba was impossible.
10:15Now let's talk about how Chris Kyle met his end.
10:18After leaving the military in 2009, he opened a firearms training center in Texas.
10:22Chris, along with his friends Chad Hutz and Littlefield, tragically lost their lives on
10:27February 2nd, 2013, when they were shot by Eddie Ray Ruth at a shooting range in Glen
10:33Rose, Texas.
10:34Ruth was a 25-year-old U.S. Marine Corps veteran from Lancaster, Texas.
10:39Kyle and Littlefield had reportedly taken Ruth to the gun range in an effort to help
10:43him with his post-traumatic stress disorder, which he suffered from his time in the military.
10:47He moved from one psychiatric facility to another, finding no real relief from his mental
10:52struggles.
10:53One day, Routh, who had been invited to the range by Kyle, unexpectedly opened fire, killing
10:58Kyle and Hudson instantly, while Littlefield was also fatally shot as he attempted to intervene.
11:03After Eddie's arrest, it became evident that he had lost his grip on reality due to his
11:07mental struggles.
11:09He could barely express himself.
11:10This marks the tragic end of Chris Kyle.
11:13Juba, the infamous sniper of Baghdad, became a legendary figure in the eyes of the Iraqi
11:17resistance and a haunting specter for American forces.
11:21His disappearance between 2006 and 2007 remains shrouded in mystery.
11:26As U.S. troops intensified their search for him, rumors circulated that he had been captured.
11:30Some reports suggested that Juba was taken prisoner by American forces without them fully
11:34realizing they had apprehended the man they were hunting.
11:38According to these accounts, Juba was subjected to brutal treatment during his captivity.
11:43Many believed he was tortured, suffering immensely at the hands of his captors.
11:47The specifics of his fate are unclear, but the narratives suggest that he ultimately
11:51lost his life due to the harsh conditions of imprisonment.
11:54This storyline, however, lacks concrete evidence, as official announcements regarding his capture
11:58or death were never made.
12:00The Iraqi resistance worked to keep Juba's legacy alive, claiming that he was still free
12:05and fighting against the occupation.
12:07They wanted to deny American forces the satisfaction of having captured such a symbolic figure.
12:12Juba's feats and the fear he instilled in American soldiers were celebrated in propaganda
12:17videos ensuring that his story continued to inspire both fighters and civilians alike.
12:22In the aftermath of the Iraq War, Juba's legend transformed him into a symbol of resistance
12:27for many.
12:28Despite the ambiguity surrounding his fate, he remains an immortal figure in the memories
12:33of Iraqis and Muslims globally.
12:35His story encapsulates the complexities of war, where heroes and legends emerge from
12:40the shadows, leaving lasting impacts on those who bear witness to their actions.
12:44Juba's legacy endures, continuing to resonate within the narrative of resistance and the
12:49fight for sovereignty.
12:51And that's all about Juba.
