A militant group linked to a fraction of the Taliban Jundullah said the bombing was the retaliation against the Pakistani military's offensive in the North Waziristan tribal region.

The question really is what is going to happen next, given the very strong denunciation of these elections by the western governments, by in fact the United Nations who said that it is not going to contribute to the peace process and the fear is, of course, that this will in fact lead to a further escalation.
