The initial report in Lahore attacks is out … it IS a “mazhabi tanzeem” which is responsible for the attacks. Most of the attackers were from Lahore …
Was watching the report on Geo and what was shocking was a clip from the CCTV … just as the attackers were speeding away on a bike … a police car just drove past them !!!
For now …

Re: Banned religious outfit involved in 3/3: report
The most prominent banned "mazhabi tanzeem" in Lahore is the Lashkar-e-Tayba/Jamaat-ud-Dawa outfit. Some other reporters were hinting at attackers being from Southern Punjab, which indicates involvement of Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, which is of course known to be close to TTP and Al Qaeda.

no it seems its lashkare jhangvi or it can be an attempt by LET to hijack bus and ask for release of lakhvi suspect in mumbai terrorist raid. .
If I was a conspiracy nut, I would say part of the police for involved in it.
Its no secret that some sections of the Pakistani state apparatus is sympathetic towards "jehadis". Their involvement in this incident cannot be ruled out.
