Suicide Attack in Peshawar Pakistan

Today 09/03/2011, there has been a suicide attack which killed at least twenty people and injured several in Peshawar Pakistan. This attack was carried out during funeral prayers in Adenzai area in Peshawar.
As the fighting with Taliban in Pakistan is continued, we (Pakistani) are paying heavy price of it in terms of loss of life and as well as economy, internal stability and list goes on and on.
What are reasons behind this specific attack to be carried out in such small village of Adenzai? It is basically among the several tribes which made local Lashkar (Militia) to fight against Taliban in northern areas which is Amaan Lashkar. This Lashkar consist of several members in Adenzai as well as different surrounding areas. It was carrying many successful attacks against Taliban despite of receiving many threats.
The basic strategy for making this Lashkar was to help police in its peacekeeping mission but the dispute mount when top member of Lashkar made press announcement that they will withdraw from their commitment unless they are provided by the ammunition and logistics. This demands come after the death of top 40 members of Lashkar during deadly clashes with Taliban. According to chief of Amman Lashkar Dilawar Khan that they have been facing fierce attacks from Taliban and need support from government.
