Police believe they may have identified the suicide bomber responsible for the attack outside the Australian embassy on 18 January.

"We are still not sure how she got past our defences," says John Horish, police spokesman.

"It appears the woman cleverly concealed the weapon and despite heavy security was able to detonate the bomb right in front of the (Australian) Embassy."

In The News Weekend Edition understands that this photo was taken just moments before the attack.

“They are just so crafty these locals,” says Horish. “This is what we are dealing with here every day.”
