Senior CIA Officers Were Target Of Pakistan Blast
Tweet
BULLSHIT –
Look at the past choice of Taliban kills as to who they called CIA – Children and women from farm communities. Or anyone they randomly grab off the street who they use to push their video propaganda.
They wanted attention and just as in past bombings this is how they choose to get it. PERIOD.
They don’t target anyone – they kill anyone who happens to be in the area. More fodder to justify terrorist actions.
Im LBA and I approve of this message.
Original report with ongoing updates:
September 20, 2008
Islamabad , Sept 20 (ANI): Several senior officers of Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) who are reported to be currently visiting Islamabad were the target of the blast at the Marriott Hotel which took place here tonight.
Well placed sources said that Marriott Hotel is usual hotel choice of the US officials and it seems that militants tipped off that certain high level US intelligence officers were currently staying at the hotel.
While no confirmation was available but Pakistan sources said it was clear that the explosion was aimed at specific targets based on a tip off.
At least twenty people were killed, and scores others seriously injured, when an explosives laden truck rammed into Marriott Hotel here today.
Over 50 people have been admitted in the local hospitals.
The powerful explosion caused fire in many parts of the hotel besides damaging the buildings around the hotel. (ANI)
