The BBC has published a statement by a group calling itself the "Secret Organisation Group of al-Qaeda of Jihad Organisation in Europe." Ridiculous name aside, these people are deadly serious. This attack provides evidence, among other things, that the "terrorists" are still out there, and that the war in Iraq certainly has not stopped them. In fact, this statement specifically cites Iraq as a motivation for the attacks. What's so frustrating is that we could have and should have captured Osama bin Laden when we had the chance in Tora Bora, but we didn't. Unfortunately, the Bush Administration's Iraq obsession distracted us from the real enemy -- the people who attacked us on 9/11 -- and the real war against Al Qaeda.
The bottom line is that, almost four years into the "war on terror," our leaders have failed us. There is no sign of a light at the end of the tunnel. Unless, of course, it's the headlight of an oncoming train. Today, London, tomorrow....who knows?
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."
