A mother told Russian airport officials her daughter was a suicide bomber in a desperate bid to stop her flying away to get married.
Police scrambled to intercept the unsuspecting bride-to-be as her plane was prevented from taking off from Moscow's Domodedovo Airport.
But when authorities realised the tip-off was bogus they traced the anonymous call back to the woman's mother.
The 56-year-old was arrested on suspicion of making a false terror report.
"Her daughter recently fell in love with a Moroccan citizen and was planning to get married to him and move to Morocco," said a police spokeswoman, "The woman was against the marriage and did not want her daughter to move abroad."
Lol, if I had a daughter and she was planning on marrying a guy I didn't like... I'd do something about it too... But not a bomb alert! Lawl, kudos to you though lady. You made me smile.
