What the...?

Passengers on Iranian weightlifter plane turn out to be ISIS suspects
Rio de Janeiro, Aug 10, IRNA - Two men suspected to be members of ISIS terrorist group have turned out to be travelling on the same plane which took Iranian weightlifter and Olympics gold winner Behdad Salimi to Brazil.
Upon arrival at Sao Paulo Airport, those two suspects were arrested by security forces.

In Salimi's words, as soon as the plane door opened, a large number of security forces entered the plane and arrested the two persons.

'The two were typical ISIS members with long beard and dressed in the same way,' said Salimi.

'Everyone was scared; we were all waiting to hear sound of an explosion on the plane,' the Iranian weightlifter told IRNA.
