Suicide bombers strike luxury hotel in Pakistan
By RIAZ KHAN – 14 minutes ago
PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP) — Suicide attackers shot their way past guards and set off a massive blast Tuesday outside a luxury hotel where foreigners and well-to-do Pakistanis mixed, killing at least 11 people and wounding 70, officials said.

Another evil and pointless waste of life .

What on earth do the people who send such as these to die and kill expect to gain from it? If it's some foreign/domestic policy point they object to, then 'operations' like this will get them nowhere.

Case in point (quoted from the article):

Farahnaz Ispahani, spokeswoman for President Asif Ali Zardari and the ruling party, condemned the attackers.

"We will not be cowed by these people," she said. "We will root them out, we will fight them and we will win. This is Pakistan's unity and integrity that is at stake."

n Washington, two senior U.S. officials said the State Department had been in negotiations with the hotel's owners to either purchase or sign a long-term lease to the facility to house a new American consulate in Peshawar. The officials said they were not aware of any sign that U.S. interest in the compound had played a role in its being targeted.
