Trouble in paradise

In 2002, suicide bombers hit a hotel in Kenya. In 2003, terrorists hit a Marriott in Malaysia. Recently, rockets were fired at a Sheraton in Iraq. Now a Hilton was bombed in Egypt.

Hotels likely offer a high concentration of foreigners, and thus are attractive to insurgents in that they're less likely to kill locals. Soft targets it is.
