Dubai - Al-Qaeda claimed responsibility for this week's deadly bombings in London on Saturday in an internet statement posted in the name of the Europe Division of the network's Abu Hafs al-Masri Brigades.

"A group of mujahedeen from a division of the Abu Hafs al-Masri Brigades piled blow after blow on the infidel capital, the British capital, leaving dead and injured," said the statement, the authenticity of which could not be verified.

It was the second claim posted on an Islamist website in the name of a group purporting to be an al-Qaeda affiliate.

Shortly after Thursday's attacks on London's public transport network, a statement was posted in the name of the al-Qaeda Organisation - Jihad in Europe."
