Now even their most esteemed guests are no longer safe in Pakistan. Assured of security reserved for VVIPs, Sri Lanka chose to play in Pakistan when the cricketing world at large saw them as a pariah state. They chose to play in a country whose very mention invokes images of the most gruesome violence imaginable in the minds of most foreigners. By no stretch of the imagination can a Pakistani militant or terrorist organisation bear a grudge against Sri Lanka, let alone its cricketers. The context, then, suggests that the attack was carried out by internal or external elements who wish to either destabilise the Pakistan government or to further isolate it internationally. Whose agenda does this attack fit is the question.
