In a new communiqué verified as authentic by the same online authority responsible for distributing credible material from Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, a group calling itself "Al-Qaida's Committee in Northern Europe" has issued a threat to carry out additional suicide bombing attacks similar those that took place on July 7 in downtown London. According to an electronic statement issued on September 11, members of the purported Al-Qaida unit announced their intention to "sacrifice our souls and dead bodies for this religion, in order to raise the flag of the mujahideen, and to preserve the souls of the Muslims in the same way that our brothers in Britain have done previously." No specific European nation or target was mentioned in the communiqué.
