There has been a surge in such attacks over recent weeks. The BBC's Aleem Maqbool, in Islamabad, says that although no group has yet claimed responsibility for the attacks there is a feeling that the militants are trying to seize the initiative.
At the weekend an attack claimed by the Taliban on the military headquarters in Rawalpindi left at least 19 people dead. The finger of blame, our correspondent adds, will be pointed towards the Taliban, who just a couple of weeks ago had threatened a wave of attacks against security forces unless the army's operations against them came to an end.
