Who is this new group "Secret Organization of al-Qaeda in Europe"?
So all of a sudden a new group "Secret Organization of al-Qaeda in Europe" appears. I found the article below on the supposed terrorist group responsible and they said that a new Al Qaeda group posted a letter claiming responsibility on this website:
http://www.qal3ati.net /
but the website is not there. Purportedly it has not been accessible in recent hours. Does this seem suspicious? NOTE in article, "many Jihadist internet forums, including one used by insurgents in Iraq, have said the letter is not authentic."

Thoughts? Who is this group... how can we link the supposed letter to the real authors? Is there a cybertrail anywhere?

Purported al-Qaeda letter claims responsibility for bombings
Spiegel Online, BBC

A letter from a previously unknown group claiming credit for the London bombings has been posted on an Islamic website http://www.qal3ati.net / -- "al-Qala'a" -- known in the past as a conduit for legitimate al Qaeda communications.

The website -- which has been inaccessible in recent hours -- has also hosted claims that have been proven falsely attributed to al Qaeda.

According to the letter, a previously unknown group identifying itself as the "Secret Organization of al-Qaeda in Europe" claimed responsibility for the bombings and indicated that Italy and Denmark were also targets.

The document was collected, translated and reported by Spiegel Online and other news agencies, including the BBC. Because agencies translate Arabic text communications differently, NBR Online offers two translations.

According to Spiegel it said:
"Rejoice, community of Muslims.

"The heroic mujahedeens today conducted an attack in London," adding all of Great Britain is now shaken and shocked, "in the north, the south, west and east."

10. In The Jihadi Literature, Sir
That is indeed who is addressed. The distinction is made between "mumin", the true Muslim, and "munafiqun", those who profess Islam with their lips but do not have it in their hearts. These latter are to be confronted with the choice of true commitment, or be classed among the "kafir" who deny Islam a;together, which for their purposes comprises the modern West and those who adhere to it. This group is most likely made up of North African immigrants, but of immigrants certainly, who have taken up fundamentalist religion against the difficulties encountered in European society.
