At Least 40 Killed in Huge Explosion at Pakistan Hotel.
The attack, at 7:55 p.m., was at Marriott. A video. The hotel is destroyed. This is, by initial reporting, the biggest suicide attack in the history of this country – dwarfing the Lahore attack from March of this year. The expected death toll is expected to rise.
