“Police defuse London bomb”
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Terrorism experts said an al-Qaeda connection to the potential attack could not be dismissed.
“We couldn’t rule it out,” a security source said, noting that the threat from international Islamist terrorism was the main reason the official British threat level is placed at “severe”, the second highest level.
“Numerically speaking, al-Qaeda is a strong possibility but it just is too early to attribute specifically.
“It would be wrong and short-sighted to rule out domestic options as well. Obviously there are various extremist groups out there too,” the source added.”
