Pakistan militants threaten more bombs

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — A militant group that claimed to be behind the deadly Marriott Hotel bombing in Pakistan's capital threatened more attacks Wednesday, warning again that Pakistanis should stop cooperating with the United States. In a cell phone message to reporters, the little known group calling itself "Fedayeen al-Islam" — "Islam commandos" — referred to the owner of the Marriott by name. "All those who will facilitate Americans and NATO crusaders like [owner Sadruddin] Haswani, they will keep on receiving the blows," said the message, which was in English. It was impossible to verify the identity of the group or say whether it was in a position to make good on the threat. Pakistani officials were not immediately available for comment. The group demanded that Pakistan break with Washington in an earlier message that claimed responsibility for Saturday's truck bombing at the Marriott in Islamabad, a blast that killed 53 people and wounded more than 270. Little or nothing is known about the group. Pakistani officials suspect al-Qaida or Taliban militants carried out the bombing.
