A SUICIDE bomber wearing a woman's burqa struck at a police checkpost in northwestern Pakistan today, killing at least 13
people and wounding 20 others.
The blast happened on the outskirts of Bannu, a key garrison town near Pakistan's troubled tribal areas bordering
Afghanistan where the army is battling al-Qaeda and Taliban militants.

"A man disguised in a burqa got out of an auto-rickshaw when police stopped the vehicle for a search. He then blew himself
up, killing at least 13 people,'' police officer Asar Islam said.
:
Police sources said they had earlier received intelligence that male suicide bombers dressed in all-covering women's burqas,
a common garment in conservative northwestern Pakistan, would soon launch attacks.
We've heard in the latest year or so about various states in various western countries allowing Muslim women to be photographed for their drivers licence while wearing a burqa.
I just hope that the MORONS who preach acceptance of a religion that detests us non-believers, are the ones who are on the receiving end of a shotgun barrel when someone thinks it's a good idea to go and hold up a bank or a gas station using one of these 'ghost costumes' as a disguise.
Do-Gooder: Help! Police! I was robbed! Help!
Police: Did you get a good look at your attacker?
Do-Gooder: Um....
Police: What did they look like?
Do-Gooder: Uh....
Police: Was it a man or a woman? A child or an adult? Skin colour? Hair colour? An amputee maybe?

Feel free to pop by and or forward the invitation to any and all who may be interested.
I guess what is surprising is that the burqa has been used, to date, in so few acts of terrorism or crime.
It's a rather obvious security risk.
There's a reason why people aren't allowed to wear ski mask things, or motor bike helmets into a bank.
No one cries "discrimination" about those laws.
