Not a big surprise as most have pointed out here, but incredibly bold and ultimately not very smart.
If I was conspiracy minded it would be a pretty easy leap to look at Musharraf or ISI having a hand in this. It would allow either of those to have a free hand in dealing with the extremists while getting rid of what many to be a dangerous opponent.
Look for even more stringent long term suppression of the general population there anyways.
