Juburi is the publisher of the al-Itijah al-Akhar newspaper and the owner of the Syrian-based Arrai TV. He is a Sheikh of the Al-Jiburi tribe, which is powerful in Salahuddin Governorate. ==Role under Saddam== Al-Juburi was born in the mid-1950s in the town of al-Shirkat, located between Tikrit and Mosul.〔 His father was a junior Sheikh of a branch of the powerful Juburi tribe.〔 In an interview in 1995, Juburi said the President met him in 1975 and gave him cash, a car and facilitated him becoming a journalist, buying his loyalty and admiration. During the Iran–Iraq War, he helped Saddam recruit 50,000 Juburi people to form the Special Republican Guard and Republican Guard. He said he became an "''intimate friend''" of Uday Hussein and "''enjoyed the pleasures of Baghdad''".〔(Saddam's circles of hatred ), ''The Independent'', 1995-08-20, accessed on 2011-02-24〕 In the late 1980s, his young son died and he went on television to criticise the hospital as incompetent, which resulted in him being jailed. After he was released he moved away from politics towards business, exporting wool from Salahuddin to Britain.〔 In 1989, he started planning a coup against the President. The coup was planned for Army Day in 1990 but was discovered before it could take place. Al-Jiburi was the only plotter to survive as he was outside the country at the time. Jibouris tried to assassinate him twice more, in 1991 by bombing a house he was staying in and in 1992, when al-Jiburi's brother plotted to decapitate him.〔 It has also been alleged that although Juburi's brother was involved, Juburi himself was not involved in the coup attempt. Instead his critics have suggested that he fled Iraq after stealing large sums of money from Uday Hussein, his former business partner.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Misha'an al-Juburi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
