CAIRO, Egypt — A group calling itself "The Secret Organization of Al Qaeda in Europe" has posted a claim of responsibility for the series of blasts in London, saying they were in retaliation for Britain's involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The statement was published on a Web site popular with Islamic militants, according to Der Spiegel magazine in Berlin, which republished the text on its own Web site.
"Rejoice, Islamic nation. Rejoice, Arab world. The time has come for vengeance against the Zionist crusader government of Britain in response to the massacres Britain committed in Iraq and Afghanistan," said the statement, which was translated by The Associated Press in Cairo.
The authenticity of the message could not be immediately confirmed.
"The heroic mujahedeen carried out a blessed attack in London, and now Britain is burning with fear and terror, from north to south, east to west," the statement said.
"We warned the British government repeated. We have carried out our promise and carried out a military attack in Britain after great efforts by the heroic mujahedeen over a long period to ensure its success."
"We continue to warn the governments of Denmark and Italy and all crusader governments that they will receive the same punishment if they do not withdraw their troops from Iraq and Afghanistan," the statement went on.
It was signed: "The Secret Organization of Al Qaeda in Europe."

These bastards need to be hunted down, put on a bus in a field, let the relatives of the victims sit in stands and draw a lottery for who gets to push the button and blow up the bus.
What?? It wasn't the Hare Krishnas?
Why would The Religion of Peace (tm) be involved in a bombing?
Do the rag-heads want to be exterminated.
It could happen in an afternoon if the West so decided.
"...saying they were in retaliation for Britain's involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan."
What will Britain's retaliation for Islam's involvement in Britain be?
Man, someone spent HOURS thinking that one up.
Thank God Kerry wasn't elected. That's all I've thought about all morning. He'd be over there blaming Blair.
The usual cowards. The proud to have hurt all those innocent civilians, some of whom might've even opposed Britain involvement in Iraq.
Worst part, some of these walking vegtables say they want to reach out and understand the Islamics better, rather then you know, kill them? I wonder if these idjits had such numbers in London during 1941?
Surrender and all will be well. Are you listening Sen Durban?
signed up today to post that???
Goodbye
Wow! How stupid are you?
Shut up you stupid freaks.
Damn the Mods are fast...gasp! Vacant has vacated the building. Good, he can go sit with the rest of the lefty scum in their utter silence.
W and Blair worry about the safety of our citizens while a shooting war is on; Pelosi and Durbin are worried about the air conditioning in the cells of terrorists.
"We have carried out our promise and carried out a military attack in Britain"
Military attack?
Cowardly attack on unarmed vulnerable innocents.
Maybe the Danes will go nordic on the perps in a viking raid like the good old days. And there was a time the Italians could be back up the command - "Unleash Hell".
Didn't get a good zot in on him. The mods banished him too fast.
Exactly. Why doesn't the "Democratic" Party understand that? Petty political hatred, that's why.
