Al Jazeera report

http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/812224C7-006D-4424-B15B-EC3E8381A4D7.htm

Al Jazeera, the best connected news source in the Middle East is not reporting any claims of responsibility. They are reporting speculation by the Brits about Al Queda but not claims of responsibility.

1. Just a note to all - do not discount Al Jazeera.

They're definitely more credible than a lot of U.S. news organizations (Fox - I'm looking at you!)

I think Al Jazeera is a nice way to get a unique perspective on Middle Eastern events - they might not be perfect, but what news organization is?

The fact that they have been criticized by both the Western and Middle Eastern culture kind of puts down the Cheney influenced assertion that they are just "propaganda" for Al-Qaeda.
