#1 Same kind of claims were made in Iraq, and seemed to be received credibly by many until psycho Zarqawi surfaced (some still claim he was a CIA creation too.) The fundamentalist Pakiwackos have repeatedly demonstrated their willingness to similar but smaller attacks. Maybe this one wasn't Mehsud's operation (he doesn't have a monopoly on violence over there), but I wouldn't even be confident about that claim.
