Suspects arrested for Marriott bomb attack
2008-10-02

The men were arrested near Toba Tek Singh after returning from Dubai a few days ago.

Source told the Pakistani daily, Dawn, the men were being investigated about their alleged involvement in the Marriott Hotel suicide attack which killed more than 50 people and injured 260 others on 20 September. The four have been identified as Imran Afzal, Hameed Afzal, Majeed Afzal and Kamran Afzal. Local police officials said they had no information about the raid or the arrests.

A little-known Islamist group calling itself the Fidayeen-e-Islam claimed responsibility for the bombing while calling for an end to US involvement in Pakistan. Soon after the bomb attack five other suspects were arrested by Pakistani police but it is unclear whether they have been charged.

I've been to the one in the Bahamas. Most amazing aquarium I've ever seen. Check it out if you're ever in Nassau.

#3  Oh, great idea genius. Blow up a hotel in Dubai and get Sheikh Mo and his UAE co-horts bringing out the big guns. You'll never see your families again but you will add plenty of reinforcement to the foundations of new hotels. Some of you will be used as fertilizer for the new golf courses.

#2  There is a new hotel opening in Dubai that has been threatened with extreme explodulation.  It's possible these dudes were the case team, in to set up things for the killbots.

I'll have a link later; it is a stunning hotel.
