Pakistan Marriott anomalies point to false flag
A report that US Marines brought in large suspicious steel boxes onto the floors of the hotel hit hardest by the "truck bomb." From Indo-Asian News Service / Hindustan Times September 23, 2008: "Pakistani authorities are trying to "solve the riddle" of US Marines and their mysterious steel cases that were shifted to the Marriott Hotel four days before it was razed in the worst terrorist attack in the federal capital, a media report on Tuesday said.
"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," The News said.
The US embassy insists the activity witnessed was a team of support personnel that often and routinely precede and/or accompany certain US officials.
According to an official source, the authorities were told that mysterious activity of the US Marines took place around midnight on Sep 16.
"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 newspaper said.
[...] ----- From The Australian Sept. 23 reports top Pakistani officials had a warning: "ISLAMABAD: Pakistan's top political and military leadership, including the newly elected President and Prime Minister, came close to being killed in the al-Qa'ida suicide bomb attack on Islamabad's Marriott hotel.
Interior Ministry boss Rehman Malik said last night that President Asif Ali Zardari, Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani and army commander Ashfaq Kayani were scheduled to be at a dinner in the hotel when the 600kg bomb went off on Saturday night, killing at least 53 people.
The dinner had been planned to mark Iftar - when Muslims end their daily Ramadan fast -- following Mr Zardari's first speech to a joint session of parliament.
At the last minute, apparently on the orders of Mr Zardari and Mr Gilani, it was decided to shift the dinner to the Prime Minister's heavily guarded residence. ----- Labels: false flag .....---
