Two foreigners were among the dead in the devastating blast at the five-star Pearl Continental hotel, provincial information minister Mian Iftikhar Hussain said, but would not reveal the nationalities.

At least two gunmen in a pick-up truck entered the hotel compound, spraying security guards with bullets before ramming the vehicle into the building and detonating, with foreign nationals among those injured, police said.

It is the seventh deadly bombing to hit the troubled city in a month, as fears grow that Taliban militants are exacting revenge for a punishing six-week military offensive against them in three northwest districts.

^As if we don't have. India should take these as a warning and really step up the security. I see none such measures being taken up here.

I went to a movie mall and the checking there is pathetic. Just checking for the heck of it

Arey in India, terrorism is in the form of guerrilla attacks. At state level, there are some full-fledged armed movements, for example, the Naxalites in North-east states. In Pakistan, it is spreading to the entire country.
