Peshawar hotel bombers first fired at guards
Footage captured by close circuit cameras minutes before the suicide attack on a five-star hotel in Peshawar shows terrorists storming the building’s compound after firing at the hotel guards.
The attackers, who drove up to the luxury hotel Pearl Continental’s gate in a white car and a mini truck shortly before 10.30 pm on Tuesday, opened fire after guards opened the gate and lowered a concrete barrier. The car and the truck then drove at high speed towards the parking lot of the hotel.
The CCTV footage, aired by Geo News channel, showed a flash caused by a massive explosion that followed minutes later and plumes of smoke rising into the air.
