DUBAI, Sept 1 (Reuters) - Al Jazeera television said on Thursday it
had received a videotape in which Al Qaeda claims responsibility for
the July bombings in London.

Al Jazeera said the videotape contained the will of one of the July 7
London suicide bombers, Mohammad Sidique Khan, in which he blamed the
attacks on Britain's support for the war on Iraq.

Al Jazeera said the tape also included comments from Osama bin Laden's
deputy, Ayman al-Zawahri.

It was not immediately clear whether these were the same videotaped
comments aired by the channel on Aug. 4 in which Zawahri warned
Britons of more attacks, saying British Prime Minister Tony Blair's
policies would only bring them more destruction.

The channel said it would air the latest tape at 2000 GMT.
