Pakistani authorities investigating last Saturday's huge bombing
of the Marriott Hotel in Islamabad are looking into evidence that
US marines were occupying two floors just days prior to the blast
and were witnessed unloading a truckload of steel cases inside.
"The authorities want to ascertain if it was
a routine exercise or part of some special mission that does not
have the approval of the government of Pakistan," Pakistan's
largest newspaper The
News reported.
The reports of the mysterious activity first
surfaced in the Pakistani media on Sunday.
According to the accounts, several witnesses, including Pakistani
government officials, described seeing a US embassy truckload
of steel boxes unloaded while all entrances to and from the hotel
were locked down at around midnight on the 16th September.
The cases were not taken through security scanners in the hotel's
lobby, but were shifted directly to the fourth and fifth floors,
the same floors that fire broke out on after the truck bombing
on Saturday.
"Already, the government has got information that several
rooms on the fourth floor of the Marriott were in permanent use
of the US authorities. Three of these rooms were said to be inter-connected
and contained some intelligence equipment and other material allegedly
used for espionage," The News also reported.
The reports have also been picked up in the press in Saudi
Arabia and Qatar.
A US embassy statement said that the marines were a routine team
of support personnel that often precede and/or accompany certain
US government officials, and that the cases contained communication
equipment.

Further rumours that several senior
officers of the CIA were staying at the hotel at
the time of the attack were also strenuously denied by the US
embassy statement as "inaccurate, irresponsible, baseless
and completely without any foundation whatsoever."
"Al Qaeda" was quickly portioned
with the blame once more just hours after the dust
had settled, while the
Taliban have also been touted as suspects.
Meanwhile new
claims have surfaced linking the bombing to an Islamic
fundamentalist group based in Iran.
In our leading article
earlier this week which has since been picked
up by the Pakistan Daily, we detailed how Pakistan’s
new leadership were due to dine at the hotel, but changed the
venue at the last minute, according to a senior government official.
This raises the question, whether it be "Al
Qaeda", the Taliban or some other group of anti-American
“terrorists”, why would they want to decapitate the
new anti-US administration of Pakistan?
