#2 Intelligence agencies have arrested a close aide of Al Qaedas number two Ayman al-Zawahiri from Gujranwala and shifted him to Islamabad to investigate the Marriott Hotel suicide attack...

Marriott Hotel suicide attack. Oh, and by the way ask him about Zawahiri whereabouts. We'd er, like to talk to him about a number of things.

#6 They're putting him up at the Marriot, in the undamaged suites. His interrogators didn't like the conditions in Gujranwala, plus it was too far from home. Big discount: Excuse our mess while we're under renovation.
