Reply #153: Actually, it's not a "fact." A claim of "credit" & motivation does not make the claim true.

Unless you regard the Pakistani Taliban as being absolute truth tellers. Again, gov'ts are not the only ones who do "spin" and propaganda.

Militants in Pakistan have been attacking Pakistan's military & police for years and quite recently as well. Despite public claim of "credit" by Pakistani Taliban, this latest attack was in keeping with other previous similar attacks and likely was similarly motivated, part of an ongoing war with authorities.

Of course, claiming credit and citing Bin Laden's death as a motivation gets them exactly what they're looking for: terrorist cred and headlines.
