MANNY IS RIGHT.
European Al-Qaida group claims responsibility
Associated Press
CAIRO, Egypt - A group calling itself "The Secret Organization of al-Qaida in Europe'' posted a claim of responsibility for today's blasts in London, saying they were in retaliation for Britain's involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The authenticity of the message could not be immediately confirmed.
The statement, which also threatened attacks in Italy and Denmark, was published on a Web site popular with Islamic militants, according to Elaph, a secular Arabic-language news Web site, and Der Spiegel magazine in Berlin, which published the text on their Web sites.
``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, translated by The Associated Press in Cairo. The AP was unable to access the Web site where it was posted, which was closed quickly after the reports.
The group al-Qaida in Europe claimed responsibility for the last major terror attack in Europe: a string of bombs that hit commuter trains in Madrid, Spain in March 2004, killing 191 people. Two days after that attack, a video was found in a trash can outside a Madrid mosque with a statement purported to be from the group's spokesman, called by the nickname ``Abu Dujan al Afghani.''
In the new statement, the group said ``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.''
``We warned the British government and the British people repeatedly. 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-Qaida in Europe.''
We need to hunt every Al-Qaida member down and kill him right on the spot.
This is just another reason why we are fighting the wrong enemy in Iraq. We are losing the best of the best every day in our special forces members who would be much better utilized in hunting down the real enemy Al-Qaida.
Bush needs to get his head out of his special interest ass and go after the real enemy and threat to the democratic world.

countdown until a british patriot act 5...4...3....2...
the city of london has the worlds most advanced facial recogniton cameras on almost every corner
i cant wait to see what the ol nwo comes up with now
According to Sky News:
45 dead, almost a 1000 injured of which 150 are believed to be seriously injured.
I am really curious of the muslim reactions in England. I have always believed that the UK has been the most succesful in incorporating different religions in its society.
the lead article on cnn.com says (quote)
"A previously unknown group, calling itself the Group of al-Qaeda of Jihad Organization in Europe"
why does everyone here refer to it as the general term 'al-qaeda' when it says previously unknown group
Now i have not brushed up on my muslim terrorist group semantics, but does this necessarily mean its the same al-qaeda the usa knows?
Both the Madrid and London attacks occured at 8:49; the time the first plane hit the WTC on 911. Truly saddistic cowards!!!
They're not secret anymore. Wonder how long they've been planning this one. They couldn't have known that London would be awarded the Olympics in 2012 and these bombings don't have any bearing on something that is going to happen years from now. Was it planned around the G8 Summit or was it just a random date they chose?A group calling itself "The Secret Organization of al-Qaida in Europe''
Al Queda - from my understanding - is really a loose coallition of groups all around the world.
Something I was floating in my mind, was whether or not they had a cell in each one of the cities that had a chance to host the Olympics and would trigger one depending on the choice.
I'm not sure what they would accomplish by doing that, but it did cross my mind.
typical americans like Evan Mariott will just hear 'al-qaeda' though, and typical newspapers will have the letters 'al-qaeda' bigger than all others
Well, it is Al Queda. I'm not following what your point is?
I would hate to have to ride the NY subway every day.
cant be faded just likes to say evan marriot
ROFL
do you think any tahoes were used in this?
My point is the people who pulled this off potentially have no concrete intimate friendship or relationship with those that pulled off 9/11 yet the typical Evan Mariott will blindly believe so and be that much quicker to giving away our freedoms to the W
I'm not trying to pick up a fight, but are you sure that Madrid's explosions happenned at 8:49? I remember something like 7:30 local time.
The first plane hit the WTC at 8:46 NY time, correct?
I'm asking because if I'm wrong and you're correct there would be very little doubt to who is responsible for the London attack.
You're wrong. Al Queda groups all work together and share money. While their organization has changed since 9/11 to be a much looser set of smaller groups. they still operate together. That makes this group directly connected to the group that pulled off 9/11.
Quite honestly, I think even if you're correct there is very little doubt. Attacks of this magnitude, organizatoin, and signature all point to Al Queda.
I hate riding the Sub in Phillly! That's why I take my car downtown and just pay 15-20 bucks for parking...
The time might be 8:46 (maybe I'm dyslexic), but I saw it on GMA this morning and the terrorism expert(can't remeber his name) siad that all three attacks occurred at the same time!!
Yeah, little doubt on who's responsible!!
More than the magnitude is the coordinated and well organized manner that this attacks are being executed that has become the Al Qaeda signature.
I'm just saying that if those times are correct (and my googling so far does not confirm it) there would be little or no doubt that it is in fact an Al Qaeda attack. I'm convinced that it was in fact those bas s again, but I still like to have my convictions backed up by facts.
8:46 is close enough for me, it's the Madrid time that doesn't add up.The time might be 8:46 (maybe I'm dyslexic
Yeah, little doubt on who's responsible!!
I'm pretty sure that none of the hijackers from 9/11 participated in this bombing...because they all died.
Sure, these bombings had nothing to do with NY or Madrid. If we just would leave them alone, they would just go away... they in no way, shape, form or means are united in hatred of western civilization not because of what we do, but solely based on what we represent. Sticking our head in the sand will make it go away.
