Woman uses bomb scare to prevent daughter's marriage

A Russian mother has been detained for making phony reports that her daughter was going to blow up a plane in order to prevent her from going abroad and marry a foreigner, a local police spokeswoman said.

Police at Moscow's Domodedovo Airport delayed a Morocco-bound flight after they received an anonymous call claiming that a female suicide bomber was on board, the spokeswoman said.



The 56-year-old female resident of the Russian city of Yaroslavl was detained shortly after the report was made.

"Her daughter recently fell in love with a Moroccan citizen and was planning to get married to him and move to Morocco. The woman was against the marriage and did not want her daughter to move abroad," the spokeswoman said.
