India and Western countries claim the bombings were carried out by a banned Pakistani-based militant group.

Later, Pakistan's military issued a blunt call for outside powers to stop demanding it to do more and to also prove its sincerity in the campaign against militancy.

This was Petraeus' second visit to Pakistan since taking charge of US Central Command in November.
