Quite likely, and not. The intent was to kill Christians and Christians alone without them being qualified as Pakistanis. Yet, the motive given to the attackers would not be to kill in revenge but simply kill. The attack will however be interpreted, defended by certain individuals(both pseudo-militant and political) as revenge for Muslim deaths.
Even now, the attack has not been condemned to the same degree by those in the Islamic parties and by certain elements who are/were part of the ruling parties( PML(N), PTI, ANP). Some have not done so due to fear of their lives, others simply because they share the vision(or rather their profit in the fulfilment of it) of the terrorist forces.
