...come forward to claim responsibility for this attack, though the Pakistani Taliban's spokesman has suggested it may be a revenge attack for last year's siege. Even if no culprit is revealed, the message is clear. Terrorists are no longer limited to the lawless tribal lands along the border with Afghanistan.
