The count is up to three now, do I hear 4? From Zaman, with thanks to The One Who Must Not Be Named.
The al-Qaeda-linked terrorist group Abu Hafs al-Masri Brigades that claimed last year's March 11 train bombings in Madrid said it was also behind Thursday's blasts in London.Another unknown organization claimed the blasts in London that killed at least 50 people and injured 700, Saturday. The Secret Organization of al Qaeda Europe had earlier claimed responsibility for the London blasts. An Internet statement by Abu Hafs al-Masri Brigades claiming responsibility for the Istanbul and Madrid blasts said, "A group of Mujahideen from a division of the Abu Hafs al- Masri Brigades piled blow after blow on the infidel capital, the British capital, leaving dead and injured. First there was Madrid, then Istanbul, and now London, and tomorrow the Mujahideen will have other words to say." The Secret Organization of al Qaeda Europe had also released a statement claiming the blasts on an Internet site immediately after they occurred.
British Foreign Minister Jack Straw termed the deadly as "hallmarks of an al-Qaeda related attack". As dead bodies continue to be discovered in subways in London, 25 people are still missing. Meanwhile, a missing Turkish female student, Gamze Guloran, who was in London for English summer school, has not been found. The Turkish Embassy in London say they have no information on her whereabouts. British police say the bombings were not suicide attacks and three bombs in the London metro had been exploded "simultaneously" within 50 seconds. The police also evacuated central Birmingham in a security alert. There are about 200 bars and clubs in Birmingham's evacuated entertainment district...
British Prime Minister Tony Blair has pointed out that true Muslims have stood up and said terror had no links with their religious believes. In a BBC radio address Saturday, Prime Minister said Britain must fight against terrorism but also "pull it up by roots". He said, "I think this type of terrorism has very deep roots. As well as dealing with the consequences of this, trying to protect ourselves as much as any civil society can, you have to try to pull it up by its roots." Blair clarified that this meant encouraging people of different religions to understand each other, spreading democracy in the Middle East and alleviating tension between Israel and Palestine...
We beg you, Tony. Please! Crack open that Qur'an you've been carrying around and then get back to us...
"Prime Minister said Britain must fight against terrorism but also "pull it up by roots". He said, "I think this type of terrorism has very deep roots. As well as dealing with the consequences of this, trying to protect ourselves as much as any civil society can, you have to try to pull it up by its roots."
Pull it up by the roots, what did he mean by that? Or did he mean what he said? Are those somekind of buzz words?
Going to the source and up rooting it, that maybe a little more concise. how about ;we must remove the roots of it, which is the Quran, and the hadith, now that is pulling it up by the roots because that is the tree from which this jihadist ideology has sprung for the last nearly 1,400 years.
To go after the terrorists and those who support them is bearly getting at the leaves on that tree let alone the branches.
The "ROOT CAUSE" comes from the teachings in the Quran and the Hadith.
Before you can even began to get to those roots you will have to remove those rose colored glasses manufactured by your local Muslim Dhimmifier Company.
George Galloway seems to know quite a lot about what was going to happen in Scotland when the G8 Conference was happening, hear him sounding off like Abu Hamza al Masri on MemriTV.

"British police say the bombings were not suicide attacks and three bombs in the London metro had been exploded "simultaneously" within 50 seconds."
I won't waste my words on Blair he's a total Dhimmi traitor, but what's the need to eliminate suicide bombers? and why should the fact that the explosions were simultaneous rule out suicide bombers, don't suicide bombers wear watches.
Most every crime or spy thriller usually has a "synchronising" of watches in it somewhere.
OT If anyone is interested..

Blair is proving himself to be an idiot...he should be fired...
"Most every crime or spy thriller usually has a "synchronising" of watches in it somewhere."
LoL! Indeed. The truth of the matter is there isn't an intact body to be found from anywhere near the blast center, so it's near impossible to sort out in they were detonated by remote or by hand. Until they find (if they ever will)any bits of the detonator, we may never know for sure. Because of the heat, and the rats in those tunnels, bits of bodies, evidence, are being eaten away.
"Blair is proving himself to be an idiot...he should be fired.
Behind every idiot, stands a woman. Sherri Blair is apparently a fundraiser for Islamic issues, like "Palestinians". I wonder just how deep her influence goes?
Blair needs to get educated about Islam, until he learns that It's the teachings of the Koran and hadith that are the underlaying problems, He's fighting a loosing battle.
For this type of bombing, it would be far easier and more effective to use a team of suicide bombers wearing synchronized watches.
All you need are recruits who are fanatically & mentally diseased enough to train and volunteer and execute the plan.
No other guerilla or terrorist movement in history has been able to muster this number, and from so many far-flung disparate locales, of mentally diseased recruits willing to explode themselves in order to mass-murder innocents.
No other guerilla or terrorist movement in history is as spiritually diseased as Islamic Jihadism.
