The fact that terrorist gangs in the South can park a car bomb at a first-class hotel is evidence that security forces are not performing their jobs properly. There should long ago have been measures to check vehicles and drivers at such easily controllable places as a major hotel. The army and police should long ago have instructed such public businesses on the dangers. More importantly, it appears that the Army, police and Southern Border Provinces Administration Centre all fall short on knowing what the separatist gangs are up to.
BP: Stopping bombs hidden in fire extinguishers inside a car via checkpoints? More patrols are needed and might deter some attacks, but patrols/checkpoints are more psychological and providing reassurance to locals that their security is being looked after. Examining every single car to the extent that you would find fire extinguishers is just not feasible- unless there is some scanning infra-red type device to detect explosive material. Such a bomb could be hidden inside the engine - will they take apart engines? Now, further questions can be raised about the bomb inside the hotel as walk though x-ray machines do exist and are much easier to utilise.
The failure is in providing security so the locals are scared and don't provide intelligence to the police and they don't know what the groups are up to.
