Must have been those damn Quakers, again. After all, the President just told us how peaceful Islam is and how much it has contributed to society. Muslims would never do something like this.
Maybe he should give another speech and we can go for 2 hotels blown up.

There are a number of Pak-based terrorist organization that could have pulled this off. However, what were the terrorists after? To blow up a hotel is one thing, to blow up a hotel in Peshawar another, and blowing up a hotel with a major target inside (Western?) still another.

BBC: A powerful explosion and a number of casualties have been reported at a luxury hotel in the north-west Pakistani city of Peshawar.
Police named the hotel as the five-star Pearl Continental, and an unconfirmed report suggests that foreign guests are among those hurt.
Peshawar is capital of Pakistan’s troubled North West Frontier Province.
A series of bombs have hit cities including Peshawar since a government crackdown on Taliban militants.

“Police named the hotel as the five-star Pearl Continental, and an unconfirmed report suggests that foreign guests are among those hurt.”
Who in the world would be in Peshawar as a guest? (Maybe they’d like to camp out along the Korean DMZ next?)
Maybe Chinese workers?
If Western intelligence people were there, why were they staying in such an obvious high-profile hotel, and not
“under cover” in some small dive somewhere?

Local update:
Updated at: 2305 PST, Tuesday, June 09, 2009
PESHAWAR: At least five people were killed and 35 others injured in a powerful blast at a five-star hotel in Peshawar area of Saddar at Khyber Road, Geo News reported Tuesday.
The injured include mainly the servants of the hotel.
According to Geo News correspondent, the blast was so powerful that windowpanes of the nearby buildings broke. Soon after the blast, the power supply to the area has been suspended. The whole area is plunged into darkness.
The sounds of gunshots are still being heard in the area.
At least 34 injured are being rushed to Lady Reading Hospital.
A large number of security personnel arrived on the spot and cordoned off the area. Khyber Road has been blocked for traffic.
DCO Peshawar said the blast occurred at PC Hotel.
According to Geo News correspondent, miscreants drove two vehicles towards the hotel; however, they found barricades there, they turned to firing and moved to the mosque where the blast occurred.
According to sources, the extremists attacked the check post of the security guards.

Other way around. If this is the hotel we think it is the folks staying there represent all sorts of negative interests from throughout the Islamofascist hinterland.
I'd guess a Pakistani or Indian military group took them out.
