Al Qaeda proud of London bombings

Al Qaeda carried out the July suicide bombings in London to strike at "British arrogance", the group's second-in-command, Ayman al-Zawahiri, said in a video-tape aired on Arab channel Al Jazeera.

"The London attack is one of the attacks that al Qaeda ... had the honour of carrying out against ... British arrogance, the aggression of the crusader British against the Muslim nation for over a hundred years."
