I read in Scientific American a report about a equipment to detect snipers of the enemy. (Btw, it is amazing the way it detects the bullet already shot and its path back to the shooter.)

Some important military persons want it inmediately to be sended to Iraq. The scientifics haven't release the technology yet, cause it is not well proved and could cause fatalities not wanted.

Thus, they also have snipers, and also kill.
It's true. But unfortunately for the Iraqi insurgents, they do not have imagery satellites in geosynchronous orbits flying over the battlefield that can detect a gunshot flare and report it's coordinates to a nearby artillery outfit. Nor do they have high flying predator drones armed with hellfire missles that can kill an offending sniper before he has a chance to reload.

Snipers come in multiple forms, you see.
