BAGHDAD, Nov. 26 (UPI) -- Two wanted terror suspects were dressed as a bride and groom when arrested at a military checkpoint near Baghdad Monday.
An Iraqi Defense Ministry official said the Army set up the checkpoint one week ago in the Taji area, about 12 miles north of Baghdad.

Soldiers at the checkpoint became suspicious of the wedding convoy after they realized all of them were men, except for the bride, who was veiled.
It turned out the bride was actually terror suspect Haider al-Bahadli, decked out in a white bride's dress and veil.
The groom, Abbas al-Dobbi, was also discovered to be a terror suspect.
