The statement purportedly from the Abdullah Azzam Brigades could not immediately be verified." Lame attack. No punch. As to why they would want to take credit for such a pathetic failure, it's beyond me. I suppose in these people's minds success is simply having done something, and seeing it in the headlines. “A group linked to al-Qaida claimed responsibility in an Internet statement.
