Marriott blast linked to al Qaeda and Taliban in Pakistan
Officials and experts say Taliban militants near the Afghan border and al Qaeda are the likely perpetrators of the Islamabad Marriott Hotel bombing. At least 53 people died, including two US Defense Department employees and the Czech ambassador, as the blast leveled much of the forecourt and damaged the hotel during Ramadan. Investigators weigh al Qaeda signatures against homegrown Taliban involvement while Pakistan's leadership vows action against extremism.
