Dubai - Qatar-based Al-Jazeera TV said on Thursday it had received a videotape in which al-Qaeda claims responsibility for the July 7 London bombings.
Fifty-six people - four of them suicide bombers - died in the attacks.
Al-Jazeera showed footage of one of the bombers, Mohammad Sidique, and of al-Qaeda number two Ayman al-Zawahiri, who it said described the rush-hour bombings on underground trains and a bus as a "slap" on the face of British Prime Minister Tony Blair.
