U.S. and Iraqi soldiers patrolling military checkpoints have arrested insurgents disguised as everything from police officers to ambulance drivers, and even U.S. soldiers.

Male terrorists have even worn an “abaya,” the traditional dress worn by some Muslim women.

But last week, Iraqi soldiers manning a checkpoint just north of Baghdad came upon a first: a wedding procession in which the bride, draped in a flowing white gown and veil, needed a shave.

Suspicious and laughing Iraqi soldiers forced the little procession of cars to a halt and arrested four men, including the bride, according to the Iraqi Defense Ministry.
