Abu Hafs al-Masri claims "Battle of London"
2005-07-09
A purported Al-Qaida affiliate group calling itself the "Abu Hafs al-Masri Brigades - European Division" has claimed responsibility for the "blessed battle of London" in a statement published on an Internet website. According to the statement:

"Several of the mujahideen from the Abu Hafs al-Masri Brigades have launched successive attacks in the capital of tyranny, the British capital... we declare that the coming days will bear witness to legendary stories of the battle against those who have declared war on Islam and the Muslims, and we will not relent nor we will submit until there is real and true security for the Islamic nation and for Muslims in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Palestine. The beginning was in Madrid and Istanbul, and today [it was] in London."

As with similar alleged communiques recently issued over the Internet claiming responsibility for the terrorist bombings in London, there is no way to verify its authenticity. The Abu Hafs al-Masri Brigades have issued numerous other would-be statements on Internet websites over the past two years, including a claim of responsibility for the 3/11 attacks in Madrid, Spain.

#3  ...we declare that the coming days will bear witness to legendary stories of the battle...

legendary stories? "I bravely left the bag on the tube next to the two women!"
battle? "I had to struggle against the flow of people joining the tube so I could get off - I almost lost my shoe!"

I think we've heard this shite before!



Arsehole.

#2  only muslims can consider killing innocent, unwitting civilians a "battle"

wonder how they'd feel if innocent muslims were targeted (I mean REALLY targeted, not like muslims claim to be now)?

#1  "blessed battle of London"

Yes, make this look like WW3. We all know what happened to the UK's enemy in the previous World War.
