Malaysia Nabs 80 Lovers in Raids ... on Hotel Rooms

Malaysia's morality police—making good on a vow to crack down on Valentine's Day canoodling—detained 40 unmarried Muslim couples in hotel rooms across the country yesterday. Authorities—who have deemed Valentine's Day un-Islamic—say the couples busted in the raids on cheap hotels during "Operation Valentine" will likely be charged with being in close proximity to somebody of the opposite sex in a private place, the AP reports. The unlucky lovers will face a fine and jail time if found guilty by an Islamic court.
