On the web: Arab messages of sympathy

As indications grew on Thursday that the UK authorities believe the London bombings to be the work of Arab terrorists linked to the al-Qaeda network, there was little official reaction to the bombings from Arab leaders. But comments posted on the BBC World Service’s Arabic-language web site gave an indication of the way ordinary Arabs view the attacks. Most comments condemned the attacks in the strongest terms and many expressed the hope that people would not make a link between the attacks and Islam.
