DUBAI (Reuters) - A group claiming links to al Qaeda said on Friday it was behind the latest attack on London, warning it would not halt its strikes until foreign forces quit Iraq, according to an Internet statement.
"Our attack in the heart of the infidel British capital is nothing but a message to all European governments that we will not rest until all the infidel troops leave Iraq," said the statement by the Abu Hafs al-Masri Brigades dated July 22.
"This is a warning to all those who follow the policies of the president of infidel America," it added, referring to U.S. President George W. Bush.
Friday's statement, like the previous claim from the group, did not appear on major al Qaeda Web sites. U.S. officials say the Abu Hafs al-Masri's links to al Qaeda are not clear.
The group has claimed many attacks in Europe in the past, including the 2004 Madrid train bombings. These claims have been discredited by security experts.
The same group claimed responsibility for the four bomb attacks in London two weeks ago which killed 56 people. British police on Friday were hunting down four bombers who struck at London's transport network in an apparently failed bid to repeat these attacks.

Ping!
If it had been me, and I'd bungled the explosives mixture and ended up getting my bombers arrested and shot to death, I'd keep quiet about it.
Now we know who to laugh at!

Check this out.
Considering the mixture of viciousness and incompetence, any one of those three works.

Yeah its getting old real quick.
Time to destroy some Moos limbs.
Now, now...they're allowed to lie. The truth is: They failed miserably yesterday. We know they're all terrorists. We really don't need a note clarifying it.
Thanks.
I really don't care what 'group' claimed responsibility (although I'm sure the Intel types and Counter-Terror orgs need to know). To me it is only another instance of Islamo-terrorism, and we know where we should be looking: places like the Flensbury mosque and other Islamic centers around the country.
Prayers for you and yours Ivan.
There is a limit to our tolerance. It is rapidly being reached - we are not going to tolerate London being turned into a war zone.

Ya know, I'm thinking colonialism got a bad rap.
Seems to me that would be quite a dangerous assumption.
That thought has occasionally come to me.
I don't care - even if they aren't the ones responsible, they ought to die for being proud of it.

This all must be really exciting to the IRA. I hope they don't try to out do them. I am shocked that they hit the same place twice. I reasoned they were taking a western tour. I was wrong. Still I find it very very odd that they haven't hit soft targets here in the states since 911.
They are certainly capable and unafraid to do it. Brace yourselves, it is only a matter of time.
I am one who believes in non-intervention, but if we pulled out of Iraq now it would convince them they can control our foreign policy via terror. If I were in charge, I'd say for every person they kill, we will stay one week longer.
I suggest we cut off a Gitmo prisoner's head for every incident. Then bury the corpses in pig fat. Film it and broadcast it on the Internet.

What ARE "major Al-Qaeda websites" anyway?
So they're proud of that Cluster F*** eh?
