I have never been to any of the restaurants inside these hotels. I somehow feel they have quite a formal environment and therefore I have always visited a local or international chain for a good social and casual environment.

Blast at Marriott kills 40, injures over 150
ISLAMABAD, Sep 20 (APP): A powerful suicide attack outside Marriott Hotel on Saturday night left 40 people dead and over 150 injured, hospital sources said. At around 8 p.m, a truck packed with explosives blew at the main security barrier of the five-star hotel in the heart of the capital, witnesses and officials said. A spokesman of Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) said that 27 dead and 97 injured were brought to the hospital.

Some 32 persons were critically injured while five Germans and one Saudi national suffered minor wounds.

He said all the dead, except four, have been identified.

Saudi Ambassador told a private channel that 16 Saudis were inside the hotel when the blast occurred and all of whom, except four who are still missing, have been shifted to hospital. He said the injured were not suffering life-threatening injuries.

Four dead were brought to Benazir Bhutto Shaheed Hospital while two dead were shifted to Holy Family Hospital in neighbouring Rawalpindi.

Immediately after the blast, para-medics from various hospitals, Rescue 1122 and private organisations started rescue operation which was greatly hampered by thick smoke inside the hotel.

They shifted the dead and injured to PIMS, Federal Government Services Hospital and Capital Hospital.

Television channels reported that some people were still trapped inside the building.

The attack left a 25-feet deep and 20-feet wide crater at the site of the blast and the building of the hotel caught fire which the fire-fighters were trying to control till the last reports.

The main lobby and the entrance of the hotel was badly damaged.

Buildings of Evacuee Trust Property, which is adjacent to Marriott and nearby Pakistan Television also suffered damage from the blast which was heard across Islamabad.

Frontier House, situated across the road from Marriott, also suffered damage.

Witnesses said the vehicles parked inside the hotel and in the vast parking area were also destroyed.

President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani have condemned the blast and said the government was fully prepared to face the challenges from terrorists.

‘Majority of guests evacuated through rear door’: Hashwani
ISLAMABAD, Sep 20 (APP): Marriott hotel management did not receive any threat from any quarter and there was no specific target of the suicide bomber, Chairman Hasho Group Sadaruddin Hashwani said.

Talking to Geo News, he said there was no VIP or foreigner affected by the blast as most of the guests present in the hotel were rescued through rear side of the building.

The majority of the injured and the killed was junior hotel staff. While the main blast occurred in the front side of the hotel where security guards and other staff injured or killed.

However, no specific number of the injured or killed could be told right now.

Responding to a question, he said suicide blast occurred outside of the hotel as the explosive laden truck rammed into the main entrance.

He said he was concerned about the lives of innocent people. Loss of property can be recovered but human life is precious and it should be protected, he said.
