Marriott hotel bomb suspects remanded: Pak court

Four men accused of involvement in the deadly Islamabad Marriott hotel bombing were remanded yesterday in custody pending trial, officials said.
The September 20 attack was carried out by a suicide bomber in a dumper truck who detonated 600 kilogrammes (1,300 pounds) of explosives outside the luxury hotel, killing at least 60 people and wounding more than 260.
"The four suspects were produced before the court which sent them to jail on judicial remand," police official Altaf Khattak told AFP.
The four suspects, Rana Ilyas, Dr Usman, Hameed Afzal and Tehseenullah Jan, were arrested in Islamabad and the neighbouring garrison city of Rawalpindi in October.
On October 31, the anti-terrorism court remanded them in police custody for four days.
Khattak gave no further details about the suspects, saying that they were still being interrogated by a joint investigation team comprising senior police and intelligence officials.
Pakistani officials have said they suspect Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda network was behind the attack, one of the most devastating in the country's history.
There has been no claim of responsibility.
