You asked if any TTP ever "confessed" and I explained that they have.
As for making evidence public, a formal announcement would necessitate an act of war on the foreign sponsors of TTP, and Pakistan is in no position to declare war on these countries. However, the deep intel, the specific targets, and the sophisticated training and equipment of the terrorists leaves markers which are enough for our security agencies to know what's going on.
Hence the proxy way. That is why it is called a "proxy war". This is how proxy wars are fought -- with plausible deniability on all sides.
P.S. Note that I am not discounting moles on the ground. As I wrote before, the foot soldiers are all "our own". However, the bigger picture is a lot more complicated.
I believe the attack was executed for proving uncle sam's concerns about the Pakistani nuclear installations. So, I wouldn't be surprised if the Raymond guys are discovered with the strings in the end.
