Teen wears a fake bomb to ask girl to prom, gets suspended

TORONTO – An 18-year-old Washington State high school student was suspended from school for wearing a fake bomb to ask a date to the prom.

Ibrahaim Ahmad got on stage wearing a vest made to look like a suicide bomb and a sign that read, “I kno it’s A little Late, But I’m kinda… THE BOMB! Rilea, Will U Be My Date To Prom?”

“The people that were in the cafeteria understood what was going on … I had a friend help me make the posters. Teachers even saw me make the posters,” Ahmad told ABC News. “They applauded. You know, it was funny. The cafeteria was just — it was a happy moment.”

The girl that Ahmad asked to the dance said yes but school administrators didn’t quite get the joke. Ahmad is suspended for five days which include the school prom on Saturday.
