Marriott Blast - Vulnerable Security

Today our president, Mr. Asif Ali Zardari, was supposed to address the nation at 3:00 pm Pakistan Standard Time. He did so too. Due to this event, security of the capital city was beefed up. I was not there but am sure that a lot more security personnel were roaming around and checking up people than usual. I also have a hunch that a lot of hurdles and barriers would have been put on roads, especially the ones leading into the city.

And yet the suicide bomber managed to sneak past the security. Not in a small car but a huge truck. The truck that was laden with explosive material. Did nobody notice or was he an insider? It is a huge mystery.

But this is making me think that is our security system so vulnerable and penetrable. Is it really so weak so as to allow infiltrations. What about the defense of our country? How vulnerable is that?

I better change the subject as scary questions are penetrating and infiltrating my mind!
