Official: Bride, groom stopped in Iraq actually terror suspects
BAGHDAD (CNN) — Soldiers manning a checkpoint near Baghdad stopped a wedding convoy to find that the purported bride and groom were wanted terror suspects, an Iraqi Defense Ministry official said Monday.
The Army set up the checkpoint last week in the Taji area, about 12 miles (20 kilometers) north of Baghdad.
The soldiers became suspicious of the convoy because its members — save the “bride” — were all male and because one of the cars in the convoy did not heed orders to stop, the official said.
Also, soldiers said, the people in the car seemed nervous and the groom refused to lift his bride’s veil when soldiers asked him to, according to the official.
Soldiers ordered everyone out of the car, the official said.
Upon inspecting the convoy, soldiers found a stubbly-faced man, Haider al-Bahadli, decked out in a white bride’s dress and veil.
Bahadli was wanted on terror-related charges, as was his groom, Abbas al-Dobbi, the official said.
Two other terror-related suspects were detained as well.

OMG this is hilarious. They must think our troops are stupid and they sure as heck aren’t!! I have heard the terrorists have done stuff like this before as well as dressing in burka’s.

That’s right Nigel. And I won’t let people know where you are. ( ha…ha…and what you’re wearing )
Maybe these terrorists decided to step up from banging goats.
Thanks Steve. “Nigel Greyman” Hmmm. Author Jack London had a short essay about the scab, it could apply to the socialist troll as it was written by one.
Chrissie, goodness those brides are getting uglier every day, no wonder those interloping goatherders love their camels more than life itself. About those terrorists, a summary execution would suffice.
I’ll bet the terrorists never make this mistake again.
“The soldiers became suspicious of the convoy because its members — save the “bride” — were all male and because one of the cars in the convoy did not heed orders to stop, the official said.”
Don’t you just love it when the media tips off the terrorists as to what they did wrong?
As Jack pointed out, that is the ugliest bride I have ever seen. But for a muzzie that is all they have to look forward to.
It is no wonder the ‘groom’ didn’t want to see The Bride sans veil, when stuck with something like jihad must look pretty tempting. I mean what else is there, the neighbors camel ?
Allah must have one hell of a sense of humor, he has stocked the middleeast with the dumbest bastards in the world and promises these yahoo’s 72 virgins if they blow them selves up they really got to be some kind of dumb.
SSgt Steve, that Nigel person shows up here every so often. Most of his comments I will not allow at all, it depends on my mood. hahahaha He is a waste of his efforts and a total jerk.
Tom, hahahaaha
Jack, hahaha they do love their camels.
Bob,yes, I have read several times of how they do this. Apparently they are not learning their lesson how easy it is for them to get caught.
Mark, Hahahahhaa I think so too.
… did the bride’s beard give ‘her’ away? Or did the camel wearing an explosive bridle ‘blow’ their cover too? – Bodily Fluids H2o 2007!
