The terrorist attack on the Marriott Hotel in Islamabad on Saturday caused 65 deaths and 270 injuries, not to mention the devastating effect the attack will have on an already fragile Pakistani economy. The attack will accelerate capital flight in Pakistan and demonstrate Pakistan’s instability, discouraging future investment in the country.
Hopefully the bombing in Islamabad will wake everyone up and focus the U.N. and President Bush on all of Pakistan not just the lawless tribal regions.
