The army says a suicide bomber has blown himself up to evade capture during a raid in a town in Pakistan's troubled northwestern Swat Valley, Associated Press reported.
The army says they spotted the bomber Saturday during a search of a residential area of Kanju, a town north of Swat's main city of Mingora. Spokesman Lt. Col. Akthar Abbas says security forces chased the man, who ran into a house and blew himself up.
Abbas would not say whether anyone else was wounded in the explosion. Local media said two security officials were killed and two others were wounded.
