Iraqi soldiers have arrested terror suspects disguised as a bride and groom outside the Iraqi capital, the Iraqi Defense Ministry says.

"The procession Sunday near Taji, about 20 kilometers north of Baghdad, raised suspicion among the soldiers because most of those celebrating were men," an official in the Iraqi Defense Ministry said on Monday.

He also noted that soldiers searched the car carrying the purported bride and groom. They discovered that the couple were two wanted men: Haider al-Bahadili and Abbas Latif.

Two other terror suspects were reportedly detained along with them.
