Two London-based Arabic newspapers published front-page reports today saying a group with possible links to Al Qaeda, Osama bin Laden's network, had taken responsibility for the explosion.

The newspapers, Al Quds Al Arabi and Al Hayat, said a group calling itself the Islamic Army for the Liberation of Holy Sites had taken responsibility. A group using the same name claimed responsibility for the bombings of the American Embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998.
