Why would the Saudi Government want to be behind that attack in Pakistan? One motivation stands out here which is to direct the attention away from its actions in Yemen.
Looking at the big picture would show this more than a mere possibility. You have the timing, the style, and the taking care of the inability to answer for the outrageousness of the action in Yemen by trying to use something that stands on as much similar grounds and make a similar situation as much as possible. To that end you see how the use of "We will continue such attacks" (Link) and "In the coming days.." (Link) could serve the purpose of projecting a continuous situation in order to be more analogous with what is going on in Yemen.
The style of not being a suicidal attack also fits here since you clearly cant easily do business with suicidal attackers.
We may also see more support and connections if we expand our view. For example, that last thing would fit with the Saudi connection to and playing the game of dual identity with ISIS. That is because it fits connection to the core of what ISIS is in being part of the Syrian resistance which is probably more capable of conducting and teaching military style attacks than other groups.
