The terrorists want to distract & divert the attention of the Armed Forces, considering how well the Army operations in the FATA have been for the most part:

Why are Shias being repeatedly massacred in Pakistan ? What adequate protection measures are being undertaken for their safety ? These LeJ animals need to be incarcerated on the spot and thrown into Jail.

The tribal regions of Pakistan (FATA) have their own rule of law/governance, not Pakistani law. They have their own tribal lashkars, assisted by the Pakistan Army, to combat these terrorists. Parachinar is right next to the Afghanistan border, a couple odd miles, & with the porous Afghan border & terrorists trying to infiltrate into Pakistan all the time with the "blessing of the US/NATO Armed Forces", along with it being full of Shias (Turi tribe & others, Kurram has many Shias), it is a recipe for disaster.
