Islamabad Pakistani police hunted on Wednesday for gunmen who mounted a bold attack on Sri Lanka's cricket team in Lahore and officials scrambled to figure out who was behind it.
The Tuesday attack killed eight people, six of them Pakistani police. Six members of the Sri Lankan team and a British coach were wounded in the daylight attack as their bus approached the cricket stadium.
A senior Pakistani official said the raid bore the hallmarks of the same militants who attacked India's financial capital Mumbai in November. India and the United States blamed the militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba for that assault.
Following are the major militant groups operating in Pakistan who could be behind the attack.
LASHKAR-E-TAIBA
Lashkar-e-Taiba or army of the pure is one of South Asia's largest Islamic militant groups, based in Pakistan and fighting Indian rule in Kashmir. Security analysts say it is a well-funded and highly organised group that sympathises with al Qaeda.
A charity linked to the group was headquartered at Muridke town, outside Lahore, and most LeT fighters were drawn from surrounding Punjab province. Pakistan raided the group and shut down the charity after it came under pressure from India following the attacks in Mumbai in which nearly 170 people were killed.
India charged the group's founder Hafiz Mohammad Saeed and other senior members Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi and Zarar Shah for the attack. The group denied it was involved.
TEHRIK-E-TALIBAN
The Tehrik-e-Taliban is led by Baitullah Mehsud, an al Qaeda ally, and has been accused of being behind a wave of suicide attacks that have rocked Pakistan since mid-2007, including one that killed former prime minister Benazir Bhutto in December 2007. The Tehrik-e-Taliban or Movement of Taliban, Pakistan, is a loose umbrella group of factions based in northwest Pakistan. Mehsud is based in the South Waziristan region. He is fighting to establish a puritanical Islamic society based on Sharia law.
JAISH-I-MOHAMMAD
This group, led by Maulana Masood Azhar, was banned along with Lashkar in 2002 following an attack on the Indian parliament. Like LeT, it carried out suicide attacks in Kashmir, but it has also been named for attacks in Pakistan. In March 2002, a Jaish fighter killed four people, including two Americans, in an attack on a church in Islamabad.
A Jaish connection was made to one of the assassination attempts on then President Pervez Musharraf in December 2003, and there was a Jaish presence at the Red Mosque uprising in Islamabad in 2007. Jaish members have also surfaced in tribal areas bordering Afghanistan. Pakistan said Masood was among those detained following the November attacks on Mumbai, but then denied he was being held.
BALUCH GROUPS
Several guerrilla groups are waging a low-key insurgency in gas-rich Baluchistan province on the border with Afghanistan. Some have taken responsibility for small attacks in Lahore in the past. A group calling itself the Baluchistan Liberation United Front (BLUF) claimed responsibility for the kidnapping of an American working for the United Nations a month ago. The attack on the Sri Lankan team is on a vastly different scale to anything carried out by any Baluch group.
OUTSIDE PAKISTAN - SRI LANKA'S TAMIL TIGERS
In Sri Lanka, official suspicion will fall on the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), a rebel group close to military defeat in northern Sri Lanka and which has a long history of carrying out deadly guerrilla attacks. There has been no clear evidence the Tigers have operations or links to Pakistan.
Pakistan has good relations with Sri Lanka and has given training and supplied arms to the Sri Lankan military fighting the Tamil Tiger rebels

what so happening in pakistan in previous days are obiviously not fine and i think these all was not performimg by paki peoples because no one fell happy to harm their guest and srilankan cricket team is our guest.these all act was taken by the against agencies which is working against the development of pakistan and i requested to all members of different nations of managementparadise that plz condem this unfair act.This accident was happened in Pakistan does not mean that in this act Pakistanies are involved someone wants pakistan to fail.Today we stand yet again with our head bowed down.We apologize to Srilanka and crickters who came to pakistan when no one else dares to.We apologize for being a nation of cowards and freaks who haven't been able to put our house in order.Hasan Mubarak, on Lahore Metblogs, writes about the shock of the Pakistani people, noting that "citizens of Lahore are specifically terrified at the extent of sophisticated weaponry used by terrorists in an incident that caused unprecedented damage to the country's image and its cricketing future". He adds: "We are waiting and watching how the unconcerned politicians are waging a war against the will of common man who does not want anything but security, justice, and only the bare necessities of life at affordable rates. They seem to have little concern with the damage and anarchy their confrontational politics can bring to the already suffering fabric of Pakistani society."
On Twitter, alihammad writes: "I am not ashamed. I am angry and need answers. The system needs correction. We need to do it. Period. Just change!". And awaisnaseer comments: "I am proud of every one who gave up their lives for Pakistan. I think tough questions need to be asked immediately".
At the end I only comments that
The attack on the Sri Lankan cricket team was an attack on Pakistan, he says. "Someone out there wants Pakistan to become an international pariah. Someone out there wants Pakistan to fail."
