ISLAMABAD: The five-star Islamabad Marriott hotel, located at the footsteps of the famous Margalla Hills, has caught fire on Thursday.
According to details, the fire engulfed two floors of the building. Rescue workers have shifted nine injured persons to Polyclinic hospital. Eyewitnesses said that explosions were heard before the fire broke out in the hotel.
Four fire tenders of Capital Development Authority (CDA) and other departments are trying to extinguish the fire.
The Marriott hotel was completely destroyed on September 20, 2008 when a suicide bomber rammed his explosive-laden truck into barriers at the Marriott hotel's main gate. The hotel was reopened after construction last month.
