Pakistani media say a large explosion outside the Marriott hotel in Islamabad has killed at least seventeen people and injured dozens of others.
Live television footage showed part of the Marriott on fire while ambulances were rushing to the site. The exact cause of the blast was unclear. But Pakistan has faced a wave of militant violence in recent weeks following army-led offensives against insurgents in its border regions.
