"The man shot dead by police at a South London Tube station this morning is believed to be one of the bombers who escaped after yesterday's failed quadruple attack across London, police sources have told The Times."

The same article notes (right at the end) :

A statement posted today on an Islamic website in the name of an al-Qaeda-linked group claimed responsibility for the latest blasts. The group, Abu Hafs al Masri Brigade, also claimed responsibility for the July 7 bombings which killed 52 people and four suicide bombers.

The statement’s authenticity could not be immediately verified.
