Some Questions about the '9 20' incident at Marriott Hotel in Islamabad

[Andre II]

I think these are some very important questions especially in the light of the growing tenson between the US and Pakistan in the last couple of weeks.


2. Why both the main gates (the entrance and the exit) of the hotel were closed while no one except the US Marines were either allowed to go near the truck or get the steel boxes unloaded or shift them inside the hotel.
3. Why these steel boxes were not passed through the scanners installed at the entrance of the hotel lobby and were reportedly shifted to the 4th and 5th floors of the Marriott? (Our PM Gillani was even asked to go through the security checks on US airport, even removing his shoes in the recent visit to US.)
4. Why the truck loaded with explosives T&T, RDX and explosives hit the barrier outside the Marriot Hotel where as the fire was seen on exactly the 4th and 5th floor with unusual intensity and flame color that could not be extinguished and later burned entire of the Hotel.
5. If the explosives had Aluminum Powder that created fire (as told my Rehman Malik) then why this Aluminium Powder only created fire on the 4th and 5th floor of Marriot and why not on the ROAD SIDE? Why not on the adjacent building of Marriott? Why not on the trees along side the explosion area? Why not on the other side of the road that had other buildings as well? Were the explosives intelligent enough to strike the 4th and 5th floor of Marriott to cause such an uncontrollable fire? Why only the 4th and 5th floor of Marriot hotel that was sealed two nights back and US Marines shifted steel boxes without security checks of hotel?
