Islamabad: Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) claimed responsibility for the attack at RA Bazzar Rawalpindi near GHQ.

AP adds:

A spokesman for the Pakistani Taliban, Shahidullah Shahid, told The Associated Press by telephone that the attack had been carried out to avenge the death of Waliur Rehman, the group’s former second in command. He was killed last year in a U.S. drone strike.

“We will avenge the killing of every one of our fellows through such attacks,” the spokesman warned.

Shahid also claimed responsibility for the Rawalpindi blast, saying in another telephone call on Monday that the Army was the target.
