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.
Abbas al-Dobbi, left, and al-Bahadli were reportedly part of a wedding convoy that drew soldiers' suspicion.
1 of 2 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.

Sorry. It was a new article, so I didn’t think it would be posted.

soldiers found a stubbly-faced man, Haider al-Bahadli, decked out in a white bride's dress and veil. If this keeps up (terrorists marrying terrorists) there will not be any little terrorists running anytime soon, or ever. I guess the bride looked better than the groom's goat.

No problem, since your article is from a different source than the first one.
Just wanted to link to the first post, so folks can continue the long comment section.

Turn over to the Iraqi government with strong recommendation to hang them immediately. Won’t have to bother with them again.

Almost as funny as finding Saddam in a worm hole.

To complete your penitence, you must wear a bridal gown and drive around in a car with a bunch of muslim whackos.

Are they sure that isn’t Yassir Arafat?
