Islamabad horrific suicide bombing
Posted by adnewspak on October 8, 2008
Pakistan mourns its history’s worst-ever horrendous suicide bombing deep inside the highly protected Blue Area of its citadel of power, the federal capital, Islamabad.
The suicide bomber skillfully timing the deadliest attack chose just after the Iftar time, when he rammed a truck laden with hundreds of kilograms of high-quality explosives into the entrance of the Hotel Marriott, turning the last Iftari of the faithful at the hotel into a nightmare, as the blast rocking entire Islamabad completely devastated the six-storey hotel, leaving over 50 dead and 257 persons injured besides scores of vehicles charred and buildings in the vicinity of two kilometers damaged. The analysts with one voice declared that the perpetrators of such dastardly acts taking innocent lives in the holy month of Ramazan could never be called Muslim.
Do you think that by making foolproof security arrangements, this suicide attack could have been averted? How true is the official claim of this suicide bombing not the result of any security lapse? What are the motives behind these suicide attacks? What in your opinion basically triggers these suicides attacks? What immediate actions the government should take for combating suicide bombings?
