Juba the Sniper of Baghdad

Interesting piece for the tactics fans out there in the Guardian on a sniper called Juba.

They have never seen Juba. They hear him, but by then it's too late: a shot rings out and another US soldier slumps dead or wounded.

And if the tactics intrigue you, I would highy recommend the book War of the Rats by Robbins, a fictionalized account of snipers in Stalingrad. It's a little old so it can probably be found at your local used bokk store.

(the amazon link is not an endorsement of amazon, I'm not a big fan, it was just the easiest way to link to book info.)
