Al Jazeera: Phony reports link Al Qaeda to London attacks [View All]

"A group calling itself "The Secret Organization of Al Qaeda in Europe" posted a statement on an internet site, claiming responsibility for the deadly attacks that hit London on Thursday.

But MSNBC TV translator Jacob Keryakes said that the statement in which the group claimed responsibility for the attacks contained an error in one of the Qura’nic verses it cited. That suggests that the claim is phony, he said.

"This is not something Al Qaeda would do," he said."

"The group, claiming to be Al Qaeda wing in Europe claimed responsibility for the last major attacks in Europe, including the string of bombs that shook commuter trains in Madrid, Spain in March 2004, killing 191 people.

Two days after that attack, a video was released with a statement purported to be from the group's spokesman, calling himself "Abu Dujan."

"The statement was signed "The Secret Organization of Al Qaeda in Europe."
