Fox News reports a big explosion, possibly a car bomb, hit the Marriot Hotel in Islamabad, Pakistan. It looks bad. Prayers for all concerned.
Foreigners among 24 killed in Islamabad suicide attack
ISLAMABAD: At least 24 people were killed, including foreigners and scores others injured, many of them seriously, when an explosives laden truck rammed into Marriot Hotel here on Saturday.
Over 50 people have been brought to the local hospitals.
The powerful explosion caused fire in many parts of the hotel besides damaging the buildings around the hotel.
Emergency has been declared in the hospitals of Rawalpindi and Islamabad.
The Marriott in Islamabad is a favorite place for foreigners to stay and gather, and it has previously been targeted by militants.
Ambulances rushed to the scene, where a fire also burned, smoke hovered and the carcasses of vehicles were scattered. Windows in buildings hundreds of meters away were damaged.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the blast, and its exact cause was unclear. But Pakistan, a U.S. ally in the war on terror, has faced a wave of militant violence in recent weeks following army-led offensives against insurgents in its border regions, though the capital has avoided most of the bloodshed.
Well they let al Queda into their nation.
So as the old saying goes: you get what you pay for....
Odd way for the Muslims to celebrate Ramadan.
How long will "Mr. Ten Percent" last?? Isn't he in Washington, DC just now -- extra motivation for the murderous b@stards who did this. "Praise be to Allah" indeed.
Just another step along the way of us eventually taking control of their nukes..
Pakistan, again..
Pay attention folks - to where the violence and barbarism of Islam is focused and originating from.....
Pakistan is the “exile state” created to house Muslims who couldn’t live peacefully along side the non-Muslims in India.
Senior CIA officers were target of Islamabad blast
Islamabad , Sept 20 (ANI): Several senior officers of Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) who are reported to be currently visiting Islamabad were the target of the blast at the Marriott Hotel which took place here tonight.
Well placed sources said that Marriott Hotel is usual hotel choice of the US officials and it seems that militants tipped off that certain high level US intelligence officers were currently staying at the hotel.
While no confirmation was available but Pakistan sources said it was clear that the explosion was aimed at specific targets based on a tip off.
That’s sad. It’s the only decent western hotel in Islamabad.
Classic jihad stuff. Yemen now here. Expect more. The Religion of Body Pieces strikes again.

Religion of peace at it again.

GEO TV's Hamid Mir, who was at the explosion site, said he saw at least 52 bodies. Most of the dead appeared to be drivers who were waiting with their cars outside the hotel, and hotel staff -- most of them security guards.
Mir said a witness saw the gates of the hotel rammed open by a small car, followed by an explosive-laden truck that detonated.
The blast caused a natural gas leak that set the top floor of the five-story, 258-room Marriott Hotel on fire. The blaze quickly engulfed the entire structure. More than a dozen cars were reduced to twisted steel.
Pat Buchanan on msnbc calls Pakistan the most dangerous country on earth. (Muslim nation. Nukes.)
I’ve stayed several times at that hotel....
In the TV pictures it appeared that the bomb hit the close but detached Men’s only exercise facility next door totally devastating it. Although the Hotel didn’t get the brunt of the blast, it appeared to be on fire.
There was a great Chinese resturaunt in the little shop area off the lobby to the left closer to where the blast was. There was also a fur shop that you could buy a full length russian sable coat for about $3K.
Prayers for all.....
BTW, a lot of Saudi’s (including their royalty) stay there.
Pakistanis have been among the biggest supporters of al Qaeda style terrorism. Now, this they are getting to see this terrorism up close and personal. Iraqis decided they didn’t like it, let’s see how Rage Boy and other Pakis like it.
There are now reports that US CIA officials were the target of the bomb, that someone had tipped off the bombers that there would be US officials at the hotel. My question is, if Obama is getting security briefing, is someone monitoring what he tells other people?

How is that coddling of the tribal areas working for you, Pakistan?
Watching video now. It must have happened late at night. Everyone is still wearing their pajamas.
RIP.
Poor bastards.May they rest in peace
