A militant wearing a traditional black Muslim woman's gown was killed in a suicide bombing attack on Sunday on a military detachment in the southern Philippines that failed to inflict any other deaths or injuries, officials said.
The suicide attacker, who wore a traditional black Muslim woman's gown, tried but failed to enter a detachment in Sulu province's Indanan town and died when a bomb the militant was carrying exploded.
It was the third known suicide attack in Sulu this year.
Regional military chief Lt Gen Cirilito Sobejana said the bomber failed to enter the detachment due to tight security.
