Foiled

The next morning Rajesh and Laila walked out of the hotel. They planned to hire a vehicle from the outside. They could hardly walk off a hundred yards when they heard a big explosion behind them. They looked back and saw the Plaza Hotel engulfed in flames. People were running in chaos. They also ran away from that place. After achieving an apparently safe distance, they stopped to catch their breath. Police, military, and fire brigade vehicles were rushing to the spot of the blast.
