Uzbek militants fighting with the Pakistani Taliban say they carried out Sunday's deadly assault on Karachi's International Airport, BBC reported.
The Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan posted photos of 10 men in black turbans holding AK-47s who had sought revenge for military air strikes.
At least 39 people were killed in the airport raid, including all 10 gunmen.
DNA tests are being conducted on the gunmen, who officials in Karachi said appeared to be of Uzbek origin.
The Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (IMU) is a highly trained militant group, with bases in the North Waziristan tribal region.
It works closely with al-Qaeda and Taliban militants and has previously carried out large-scale coordinated attacks in Pakistan, including one on Peshawar Airport in 2012.
Pakistan's leaders met to discuss security on Tuesday. The military have been targeting militants in the tribal north-west but it is still not clear whether a broader military offensive in the Taliban stronghold of North Waziristan could be given the political go-ahead.
