Again is one of those rare times I side with Roachboy. It's a political coup for Al Quaeda to claim responsibility for this. I simply dont think they have the resources at the moment to pull these things off. They have their hands full in Afghanistan and Iraq.
What I think this is, is a cousin terrorist group. Sure they probably took notes from AQ, but it is by no means as complicated as AQ is known for. Planting bombs in busses and subway can be done by a 9 year old, taking over planes and flying into buildings (3 within minutes of each other) is much more complicated.
This is a tragedy no doubt, but if this was AQ there would have been many more dead IMO.
