Al-Qaeda Claims Responsibility for London Bombings

Al-Qaeda's deputy leader, Ayman al-Zawahri, has claimed responsibility for the July, 7th suicide bombings in London. In a video-taped message he said al-Qaeda had the "honour" of carrying out the attacks. Prior to this tape Ayman al-Zawahri had blamed the attacks on the UK's foreign policy. Also on this tape Zawahri says the London bombings were because of "the British Crusader's arrogance and against the American Crusader's aggression on the Islamic nation for 100 years". He also criticized other policies of both Britain and the United States.
