The building of Marriott Hotel in Islamabad has once again been rocked by powerful bomb explosions. At the time of writing of this post the building of the hotel is engulfed in flames and at least forty people have been killed and another one hundred injured.
It is said that two trucks with large quantity of explosive materials were used in the attack. The explosion was so severe that its report was heard throughout Islamabad.
The explosion is a clear reminder of the fact that Pakistan is in the grip of Taliban and militants who can strike at their will. The hotel building was located in high security zone but this did not deter the militants to carry out their nefarious design.
I think that the government of Pakistan must formulate a clear cut policy against militants and start a ruthless operation against them. The half hearted approach so far has only compounded the problem.
Update: At least 40 people have been killed in the deadly suicide bomb attack at the Marriott Hotel in Islamabad. The figure can go up. The building is still in fire and it is feared that it may collapse.
