Britain and U.S. take seriously al Qaeda's claim

Britain is taking seriously a group's Web site claim of
responsibility for attacks on London that killed at least 38 people
and wounded 700, interior minister Charles Clarke said on Friday.
A previously unknown group calling itself the "Secret Group of al

considered a ``potentially very credible'' claim, in part because the
message appeared soon after the attacks and didn't appeared rushed.
