ISIS Claims Responsibility for London Attack

ISIS has claimed responsibility for Saturday's terror attack in London, according to Amaq News Agency, their "news" (propaganda) outlet. 

SITE Intelligence Group reported the statement. SITE's founder, Rita Katz, tweeted:

2) Amaq claim on #LondonAttacks: It was carried out by "a detachment of #ISIS fighters",ie. likely coordinated with #ISIS, not ISIS inspired

4) It took #ISIS over 24 hrs to claim the attack, though it was obvious that it would claim the #LondonAttacks

5) Based on the Amaq claim we should expect an official communique from #ISIS with additional information about the #Londonterrorattack

ISIS has also claimed responsibility for a terror attack in the Philippines although officials there deny the incident was terror-related. As of this time, there is no evidence other than Amaq's statement that ISIS is responsible for the London attack.
