ATTACK IN PESHAWR HOTEL CLOSEST IN PAKISTAN CITY


ATTACK IN PESHAWR HOTEL-
CLOSEST IN PAKISTAN CITY

The bombing of a five-star hotel in Peshawar, closest in Pakistan city. The attack, carried out by means of an explosives- packed vehicle that forced its way in to the hotel, killed 16 people and left more than 50 injured. Two of the dead foreigners working for united Nations relief agencies that are assisting million of people who have fled the fighting in swat to live in refugee camps. Foreigners, government officials, and politicians were among the injured.
As the Pakistani city closest to the troubled Afghan border, Peshawar has suffered countless incidents of terror in the last few years only a few days ago, two motorbike bombs ripped through the historic Kissa Khwani bazaar, killing five people and leaving 70 people injured. Pearl Continental is a famous Hotel in Peshawar. It is the failure of Pakistan authority to prevent a truck carrying 500 kg of explosives from entering a highly guarded cantonment area
The attack on the Hotel in Peshawar by the Taliban has proved that it is well equipped, well- funded, and well- informed. Pakistan should first eliminate its inside support and get serious about uprooting terrorism from its soil. The frequent attack shows the failure of Pakistan’s internal security. Islamabad should take serious measures to curb the spread of Taliban. The first step is Pakistani authorities in to realizing that the sooner the terrorist training camps are closed on their soil
