Is it out of the realm of possibility that Pakistan might be behind this?

I would think so. A group connected to Al Quaeda from Pakistan has been active in India lately. The fact they looked for Americans and British also point to it coming from Pakistan. India is the only stable government in the area which makes it a threat. Pakistan and Afghanistan have pretty much merged although not government wise and are very unstable. I don’t think this is a Kashmir thing either. What is strange though is how well organized it was that it had to be financed and that’s what leaves the door open to possibly someone else? Those groups in Pakistain do not have this amount of organization or money. I would look to a group from another country with a little more sophistication as the organizer and to me, that would be coming from a surrounding country that is more sophisticated. It would be far out there to say Russia but maybe Iran??? In any event, after this, I don’t see how anything can be resolved in that region without India being involved. I think India will insist on it.
