A group like that behind Lal Masjid, which was motivated by genuine issues like civilian deaths in military operations in the tribal belts or concern for the "missing people" can be subdued by the state by very different strategies than a criminal group at the outskirts of Peshawar which might be taking on the name of Talibans or Islamic jihad either because of being externally sponsored or as a means to secure some income. The emphasis of the government strategy has to be first of all on making a sense of who it is fighting. These random military attacks on vague targets are clearly having very dangerous repercussions.
