Blogging The London Terrorist Attacks
The Counterterrorism Blog is all over the story about the terrorist attacks in London.
One of the group blog's contributors raises questions about the authenticity of an Internet posting that claims responsibility for the attacks. International terrorism consultant Evan Kohlmann said the claim, made by a group calling itself Al-Qaida's Secret Organization, is likely a hoax.
He noted that the posting was deleted and that "the language in this latest Internet statement is oddly reminiscent of a series of hoax threats received last summer from an alleged terrorist group calling itself the 'Tawheed Islamic Movement.'"
Another group called Organization of Al-Qaeda Jihad in Europe also claimed responsibility for the attack.
UPDATE: The rush to get news and commentary on the terrorist attacks generated an overwhelming amount of traffic for at least one policy blog today. "We're adding more server capacity," TPMCafe founder Joshua Micah Marshall told readers at the blog's sister site, Talking Points Memo.
