The country’s forces have captured a suspected Indonesian would-be female suicide bomber who the army believes was part of a “very imminent” plot to attack a southern town, officials said.

Army troops and police arrested Rezky Fantasya Rullie with two Filipino women, who were suspected to be the wives of Abu Sayyaf militants, in a house in southern Jolo town in Sulu province, the military’s Western Mindanao Command said yesterday.
