Unknown group claims London attack in Qaeda's name -ANSA

MILAN (Reuters) - A previously unknown group claimed responsibility in the name of al Qaeda for a series of blasts in London that killed at least two people and wounded 185, the Italian news agency ANSA reported on Thursday.

The "Secret Group of al Qaeda's Jihad in Europe" claimed the attack in a Web site posting and warned Italy and Denmark to withdraw their troops from Iraq and Afghanistan, ANSA said.

The claim could not be verified and did not appear on any of the Web sites normally used by al Qaeda.

"Heroic fighters of the Arab nation, it is time for revenge against the crusader and Zionist British government, in response to the massacre carried out by Great Britain in Iraq and Afghanistan," ANSA quoted the message as saying on a site it named as "el qal3ah.com".

"We command the Italian and Danish governments to pull their troops out of Iraq and Afghanistan."

Dunno, if these are the fucktards behind the blasts...

And relatively small aswell, could have been far worse, London used to get bigger ones than that every few months with the IRA.

When you look what happened in Madrid, London's been pretty lucky.

As you say this is nothing in comparison to all the years of being bombed by the IRA.

I have heard 40 deaths :unsure:

[Rolo]

At least 45 people are reported to have been killed and 1,000 injured in a series of co-ordinated terror attacks on London.

Sky News crime correspondent Martin Brunt said the figures, which could rise, were from a reliable, but unofficial source.

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."

I wouldn't go with that just yet, the police are still saying only 2 confirmed dead, 150 critically ill and over 1000 injured.

[Trev]

This unheard of faction is going to have to get in line as there have been other groups claiming to be responsible for the bombings.

Damn. That just pisses me off.

Hope all our UK friends are ok as well as their family and friends.

The CNN coverage was the worst I've ever seen them do. I didn't even bother with MS-NBC, and I have an F-chip that limits my viewing of Fox (medical necessity - blood pressure).

The looney-tunes are out on the call-in shows; the majority of callers on c-span radio are either hand-wringing sob-sisters who think we make them attack us, or knuckle-dragging knuckleheads who are still unclear about the differences between Saddam & Osama, al-Qaida and Irag.

Just waiting for my little sister to get back to me now, she was in London today with her boyfriend.

The Mayor of London Ken Livingstone has issued a statement following the terror attacks in London, which have claimed at least 33 lives.

Mr Livingstone said: "This was a cowardly attack, which has resulted in injury and loss of life. Our thoughts are with everyone who has been injured, or lost loved ones. I want to thank the emergency services for the way they have responded."

He went on to describe how London was prepared for just such an attack and that emergency plans had been in place since September 11. He said: "One of the exercises undertaken by the government, my office and the emergency and security services was based on the possibility of multiple explosions on the transport system during the Friday rush hour. The plan that came out of that exercise is being executed today, with remarkable efficiency and courage, and I praise those staff who are involved."
He added: "This was not a terrorist attack against the mighty and the powerful. It was not aimed at Presidents or Prime Ministers. It was aimed at ordinary, working-class Londoners, black and white, Muslim and Christian, Hindu and Jew, young and old. It was an indiscriminate attempt to slaughter, irrespective of any considerations for age, for class, for religion, or whatever."

Condemning those who carried out the attack, he said: "This is just an indiscriminate attempt at mass murder and we know what the objective is. Londoners will not be divided by this cowardly attack. They will stand together in solidarity alongside those who have been injured and those who have been bereaved and that is why I'm proud to be the mayor of that city."

Addressing the attackers directly, he said: "I know that you personally do not fear giving up your own life in order to take others - that is why you are so dangerous. But I know you fear that you may fail in your long-term objective to destroy our free society and I can show you why you will fail.
"In the days that follow you will see that people from around the world will arrive in London to fulfil their dreams and achieve their potential.

"They choose to come to London to live the life they choose. They flee you because you tell them how they should live. Nothing you do, however many of us you kill, will stop that flight to our city where freedom is strong and where people can live in harmony with one another. Whatever you do, however many you kill, you will fail."

Anyone concerned about friends or relatives in London can contact the emergency helpline on:

0044 (0) 870 156 6344.

Hang in there Lee...You'll hear from your parents soon. I'm sure they are trying
to contact you to let you know they're doing OK. :)

[JR]

whats the point of immediately condemning the attacks? would there otherwise be an assumption that the government supported them?

US and Britain should learn from Russia... say a gas line blew up and deny any terrorist involvement and act puzzled that such an assumption came up. no reason to empower terrorists when you can downplay everything and then go quietly kidnap them and shoot them in the face.

I hope they are ok Lee, they'll be trying to get in touch with you as hard as you are them I'm sure, more crossed fingers here.

A gasline that takes out three train stations miles from each other and a bus on the street?

JR, I highly respect you, but I have to tell you that "spin doctoring" is NOT your forte.

[el pres]

The phone lines were still buggered into the night, I spoke to my sister who lives and works in London, Most people are just relieved that it's happened
and it wasn't huge, it's been expected for a while.

She passed through kings cross on the Piccadilly line about 20 minutes before the bomb, so that was lucky.

Today she's just pissed off that she has to go to work cause there's no tubes on the line she takes.

She was very lucky indeed, it'll be a nightmare for her having to bus it across London today though.

Lee,

Any luck getting ahold of your parents?

Now the hunt for the bastards behind will begin... if it is anything like Madrid, then we can probably expect that these islamist scums are hiding somewhere with lots of explosives, and will strick again, if not found...

Nope not yet however i dont expect to hear anything until later this morning.

Just 7 miles from my old home, there is a small radical moske, which have already have had 3 people connected with al qaeda and other extremist groups... one was in guantanamo (caught in afghanistan), but later released due to pressure from the government, another is awating the death penalty in Morocco for taking part in terror, and last one is in a israeli prison for preparing terrorist attacks.

If anything happens in my old town, then I think people will burn it to the ground... :unsure:

16 dead in explosion in Ukhta shop
MOSCOW. July 11 (Interfax) - An explosion in a shop in the Komi town of Ukhta killed 16, a representative of the Russian Emergency Situations Ministry press service told Interfax with the reference to preliminary information.

"The explosion and a fire occurred in the Passage shop on Oktyabrskaya Street at 1:58 p.m. Moscow time," he said.

Rescuers and the police are working at the explosion scene.

Meanwhile, a source in the Russian Interior Ministry said that the explosion resulted from a gas cylinder detonation.

It could also be the work of single madman... there was and is not any solid public evidence that confirms it was a terrorist network behind... so I agree with JR - do not give them the publicity, unless it servers a purpose. If they want our attention, then they can buy their TV/Radio/Newspaper/Internet advertising like everyone else - no reason giving it away for free...

THIS is one of the four young Britons who carried out the London suicide bombings that killed 70 commuters.

Shehzad Tanweer, 22, blew up a Tube train at Aldgate, East London.
Two other killers were 19 and 30.

The fourth member of the Yorkshire gang, who all wore backpacks, is thought to be a teenager.

CCTV cameras filmed them smiling and chatting at King’s Cross station just 30 minutes before Thursday’s devastating attacks.

Then they split up — each carrying up to 10lbs of explosives and a timing device in his rucksack.

And at 8.50am they began to trigger four blasts which left 70 commuters dead.

Shehzad Tanweer was named as one of the killer's last night.

Another bomber was a 19-year-old reported missing by his family on the night of the explosion after telling them he was going to London to meet friends.

Sources said last night he was Hasib Hussain, from Beeston, Leeds, who died on the No 30 bus in Tavistock Square.

A third bomber is too badly charred to be identified yet, but is believed to be a teenager.

He blew himself up just after the Piccadilly Line train left King’s Cross in the direction of Russell Square.

The fourth was named as 30-year-old Mohammed Sadique Khan, from Dewsbury. His documents were found on the Edgware Road train.

But the al-Qaeda Mr Big who planned the 7/7 atrocity is feared to have fled the country hours before the bombs exploded.

Three of the killers drove down the M1 from West Yorkshire to Luton where they met an accomplice. They then boarded a Thameslink train to King’s Cross.

The bombers were captured on CCTV at 8.20am walking through a subway at King’s Cross.

One security source said last night: “They looked like they were going for a hike. They were chatting to each other and smiling.”

The four were identified after police sent a specialist liaison officer to see the 19-year-old’s family in West Yorkshire.

It is believed the family’s unwitting involvement played a key role in helping piece together the bombers’ movements.

Experts were shocked that even the family of one of the bombers had no idea of his evil intention.

They said it showed how hard it is to identify terrorists until it is too late — and how many may be at large.

All three of the bombers identified by police were “fresh-skinned” who were not known to security services.

They were all British-born and came from families who emigrated from Pakistan.

Explosives were found in a car parked at Luton station yesterday.

The explosives were due to be blown up in the fifth of a series of controlled blasts. A second vehicle found at Luton was taken to police storage in nearby Leighton Buzzard for examination.

A bomb factory was found during raids on six addresses in Leeds and Dewsbury, West Yorks.

A male relative of one of the bombers was arrested during one of the dawn swoops.

Armed police and bomb disposal experts yesterday gave 500 families just five minutes to collect their belongings and evacuate homes surrounding a house in Alexandra Grove, in the Burley area of Leeds.

Police laid on buses to take families away. They were later told to stay away overnight.

Army explosives experts were called in to carry out a controlled blast to break open the door — as cops with sniper rifles kept watch for nearly two hours.

West Yorkshire Chief Constable Colin Cramphorn revealed that suspect material had been discovered in the raids.

He added: “There is material in those premises that cannot be identified as harmless.

“Therefore, we are treating it as potentially hazardous until we are satisfied that it is harmless. We intend not to let people back until we are certain it is safe to do so.”

They included two semis knocked into one family home where

Tanweer lived in Colwyn Road, in Beeston, Leeds. He shared the house with his parents, brother Rezween, 17, and two sisters.

Just 400 yards away in Stratford Street cops stormed a house owned by Asian businessman Mohammed Fiaz and wife Hamida Begum. They are not thought to have lived there for several years.

But their sons — Nadeem, 26, and “Jacksey”, in his 30s — would drop in for a few days at time, then leave again.

A mile away, officers swooped in the Colenso Mount home of Mahmood Hussain, his wife Manizaand and their their sons Shazia and Hasib.

They shared the house with three other Asian men — Misbia and Aqsa Imran and Imran Mir.

In Dewsbury cops removed a silver Ford Escort and a silver Honda from outside the bungalow where retired teacher Farida Patel lived with her son Arshad, his wife and their baby in Thornhill Park Avenue.

A police source said the owner of the Escort was one of the bombers, and added: “The guy who drove that won’t be using it again. He’s dead.”

Officers also stormed the council house in Lees Holm where Arshad’s sister Hassina lived with her husband and young child.

it was rather obviously terrorist attacks
It could also be the work of single madman... there was and is not any solid public evidence that confirms it was a terrorist network behind... so I agree with JR - do not give them the publicity, unless it servers a purpose. If they want our attention, then they can buy their TV/Radio/Newspaper/Internet advertising like everyone else - no reason giving it away for free... [/b][/quote]
if it was one person it is still terrorism...it doesn't have to be middle eastern terrorist to be terrorism and Londoners know that all too well. My point was that it was obviously 'foul play'

Well, in my world I do not put every single violent incident as terror... A single man killing dozen of people is a mass murderer or serial killer... The terror aspect first comes into play, when we know the intention of the crime. Was it a sick fantasy to blow things up? Maybe he just had a bad day (falling down syndrome) or who knows....

The large majority of violent crimes are not an act of terror (something that inspires fear) - they are usual much more egocentric.

Ofcourse explosions in a large city will get speculation going, but is it the goverment job to tell the world press "yes, Mr. Osama assfucked our civilization again", or should they just keep it to the available public facts, and then behind closed doors enter the coordinates for some random terrorist scum hideout, and start attacking within the hour?
