Are they sure there aren’t more men with long beards in burqas? “Men disguised as Muslim women rob bank,” from Reuters:
SARAJEVO – Two armed men disguised as Muslim women in burqas held up a bank in Sarajevo and got away with some $40,000, Bosnian police said on Tuesday.
They said the pair entered a Union bank branch in the capital wearing head-to-toe black dresses and veils typical of women adhering to the orthodox Islamic code and trained guns on customers. They then made customers lie on the floor while the emptied the tills, police added.
“˜Everything happened in a moment. Two persons in black niqabs … came into the
bank. I thought they were ladies,” the Sarajevo daily Oslobodjenje quoted bank customer
Mehmedalija Komarac as saying.
