statement claiming london attacks
the bbc has located an islamist website that has published a 200-word statement issued by an organisation saying it carried out the london bombings.
the organisation calls itself the secret organisation group of al-qaeda [literally the base] of jihad organisation in europe.
the group not previously been heard of.
the website has previously carried statements purporting to be from al-qaeda. it is not possible to verify such claims published on the web.
this is the full text of the statement.
in the name of god, the merciful, the compassionate, may peace be upon the cheerful one and undaunted fighter, prophet muhammad, god's peace be upon him.
nation of islam and arab nation: rejoice for it is time to take revenge against the british zionist crusader government in retaliation for the massacres britain is committing in iraq and afghanistan. the heroic mujahideen have carried out a blessed raid in london. britain is now burning with fear, terror and panic in its northern, southern, eastern, and western quarters.
we have repeatedly warned the british government and people. we have fulfilled our promise and carried out our blessed military raid in britain after our mujahideen exerted strenuous efforts over a long period of time to ensure the success of the raid. we continue to warn the governments of denmark and italy and all the crusader governments that they will be punished in the same way if they do not withdraw their troops from iraq and afghanistan. he who warns is excused. god says: "you who believe: if ye will aid (the cause of) allah, he will aid you, and plant your feet firmly."

Prayers said for all of London today and over the coming days as bodies are recovered, and the clean up of your city begins. What a terrible tragedy to endure. Brings back memories of 911 all over again, only carried out in a different way with less injuries and less deaths. Still... when someone loses a loved one, especially in a horrible tragedy as this, the recovery period will be painful for sure.

I posted this in the other thread regarding the attacks in London but thought it worth posting here too.

Mayor condemns 'cowardly' attack
London mayor Ken Livingstone said the blasts which stunned the city were "mass murder" by "cowardly terrorists".
But in a defiant message to the culprits, he said Londoners would remain strong "no matter how many people you kill".
He said: "This was not a terrorist attack against the mighty or the powerful, it was aimed at ordinary working-class Londoners."
Mr Livingstone called for people not to make unnecessary journeys.
He said: "Black and white, Muslim and Christian, Hindus and Jews, young and old. It was an indiscriminate attempt to slaughter, irrespective of any considerations for age, class, religion whatever."
Addressing the attackers, Mr Livingstone vowed London would quickly recover.
"I know that you do fear you may fail in your long term objective: to destroy our free society. And I will show you why you will fail.
"In the days that follow, look at our airports, look at our seaports and look at our railways.
"Nothing you do, however many of us you kill will not stop that life. Where freedom is strong and people can live in harmony, whatever you do, however many you kill, you will fail."
may god bless you all effeced by this event. To the nurses coping with the results ,may you find inner and physical strength.for the work load in your city's time of need.Myprayers are with you.
