110. Some details on the discussions among Islamists about the statement:
Jihadist Reactions to the Claim of Responsibility for the London Attacks by the “Secret Organization of Qaedat al-Jihad in Europe”
By SITE Institute
July 7, 2005

Responding to the claim for responsibility by the “Secret Organization of Qaedat al-Jihad in Europe” for the attacks in London today, July 7, 2005, members of an al-Qaeda affiliated forum believe that the communiqué was falsified, but trust that al-Qaeda executed the attacks.

The main points of contention amongst the membership are the use of “ummat al-arab” (the Nation of Islam) in the communiqué which according the jihadists is “against the al-Qaeda beliefs,” and alleged poor Arabic that “does not sound like an al-Qaeda statement."

Further, a discussion at another al-Qaeda affiliated forum mirrors the belief that the statement is false; however, some members assert that the operation was carried out by the Abu Hafs al-Masri Brigades of al-Qaeda in Europe.

Despite the purported false claim, members still express that they are “pleased with what happened today in the home of the Roman.”

The SITE institute seems to have some right-wing connections, but in this case I think that the information about the discussions appears to be plausible.
