Fidayeen-e-Islam’ claims Islamabad bombing

DUBAI: A shadowy group, calling itself ‘Fidayeen-e-Islam’ has claimed responsibility for the deadly bombing of Islamabad’s Marriott Hotel in a telephone call to Al-Arabiya television, the channel said on Monday. The Dubai-based station’s correspondent in Islamabad said he received a text message on his mobile phone showing a telephone number, which he called and then heard a recording in which the group admitted launching Saturday’s attack. Meanwhile, a United States counterterrorism official said al Qaeda or an affiliate group remain prime suspects in the Marriott Hotel bombing, despite a responsibility claim by a little-known group. “The investigation is ongoing, and we can’t corroborate this group’s claim.” agencies
