CNN reports that no one has claimed responsibility for the attack so far. However, sources from the channel in Pakistan's security services believe that the attack was carried out by militants linked to the "Taliban" and India.
This terrorist act occurred the day after Pakistani intelligence services thwarted an attempt to abduct cadets at an army college in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, located near the border with Afghanistan. It is claimed that the attack was planned by a suicide bomber and five other armed individuals. Authorities blamed the incident on a Pakistani cell of the "Taliban," but the militants themselves denied their involvement.
