London: a new and bloody chapter for al-Qaeda?[*1]
An unknown al-Qaeda cell in Europe claimed responsibility for the attacks in London today on the al-Qal’ah – or Fortress – internet site.
Reportedly, seven bombs went off in four London Underground subway stations and in one London bus, killing at least 40 and wounding over 1,000.
“We shall have no truce or parley with you, or the grisly gang who work your wicked will. You do your worst, and we will do our best….We do not expect to hit without being hit back, and we intend with every week that passes to hit harder. Prepare yourselves then, my friends and comrades, for this renewal of your exertions. We shall never turn from our purpose, however sombre the road, however grievous the cost, because we know that out of this time of trial and tribulation will be born a new freedom and glory for all mankind.” – Winston Churchill
