There are a few possibilities here:
- free lancers like SIMI or disgruntled Kashmiri group -that want to make a strong point about their pet peeve
- Paki group that is trying to make an internal political point within Pakistan [or Paistani army]
- or group internal to India - some group that wants to make some other group [like the BJP, RSS] look very bad
Musharraf will have a hard time pulling this one - remember, he had to court martial 6 officers who refused to "kill Pakistanis" in Waziristan - if he pulls something like this on his own folks and word gets out - then he will find it difficult to get the support of his corps commanders
Hence, my gut feel that this has been done purely for political purposes - perhaps an Indian internal group [quite possibly with some collaboration with Pakistan]
