The group that has claimed responsibility is not al-qaeda as you might think, but a group that calls itself (I just heard this on the news like 3 minutes ago) the Al-Quaeda Society (or group) of Europe...I haven't heard of them before.
What strikes me as odd is that double decker buses are symbolic but aren't exactly the heart of Britain's economy and spirit. They also, in spite of the horror, weren't as severe as plane crashes to real economic centers...it wasn't even Parliament or Big Ben or those things that have such meaning. I don't mean to offend ANYONE by downplaying the gravity of the situation, but it is perplexing...
