Hotel Bombing in Pakistan

The bombing at the Marriott Hotel was said to be one of the worst terrorist attacks in Pakistan history. It occured late Saturday evening on September 20 on the night of the new president's first address to Parliament. All government leaders were dining at the Prime Minister's house which is only a few hundred yards away from the hotel. At least 40 people were killed including an American citizen, and 250 were injured.
The massive explosion left a crater 40 ft wide and 25 ft deep. The explosion was so powerful that the windows of buildings a hundred yards away were shattered.
The bomb left a lasting impression on the people of Pakistan. The Marriot was an icon in Pakistan; said to be the equivolant to the Twin Towers in the United States.
In response to the attack, the two-week-old president declared, "We will get rid of this terrorism cancer." However Pakistan's new civilian government appears to be inactive and it is uncertain what their plan is to counter this attack. Hopefully Pakistan will soon act finally defeat the terrorists who have plagued them for far too long.
