Blair's office refused to comment.
After the March 2004 train bombings that killed 191 people in Madrid, bin
Laden was reported to have offered European countries a three-month cease-fire
to consider his demands to withdraw their troops from Muslim countries.
Effectively it meant that European forces should leave Afghanistan and Iraq.
In the weeks immediately after the July 7 London attacks, there were at least
two purported claims of responsibility on Islamic Web sites. But both were from
groups who have made dubious claims in the past.
In a tape aired Aug. 4, al-Zawahri did not directly claim that al-Qaida
carried out the July 7 bombings or the failed July 21 attacks that followed. But
he brought the earlier attacks under al-Qaida's wing and depicted the terror
network as still capable of delivering strikes around the world despite arrests
in Europe and blows against its leadership in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
