#1 Update from Al Bawaba: Meanwhile, a unit of Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda network said it carried out the the twin suicide bomb attacks on British interests in Istanbul. Abu Hafz al-Masri Brigades - which also claimed to have carried out the bombing of two synagogues on Saturday - said it had targeted the UK to "shatter the peace of Britain... which battles Islam". "The Abu Hafz al-Masri Brigades targeted the British consul, Roger Short, because of his extensive experience in combating Islam and because he is considered the mastermind of British policy in the region comprising Iraq, Syria, Turkey and Iran," the statement said. "Our cars of death struck the consulate building. As for the British bank headquarters, this is a bastion of the British economy and let Britain and its people know that is alliance with America will not bring it prosperity or security."
