CNN.com - World leaders condemn attacks, offer support - Jul 7, 2005
Gerry Adams, leader of Sinn Fein, the political movement linked to the Irish Republican Army: "I condemn the bomb attacks in London this morning. I have sent a message of sympathy and solidarity to Mr. Blair and the London mayor, Ken Livingstone. On behalf of Sinn Fein I offer my sincere condolences to the victims and the families of those killed and injured and to the people of London."
Of course, the IRA usually called in their attacks before hand, but it's not like they've got clean hands here.

How is the IRA involved, in your estimation? Other than that they also espouse bombing civilians as a political modus operandi?

It's somewhat hypocritical for an ally of a terrorist organization to decry terrorism. The biggest reason London was able to weather the attacks as well as they seemingly have is that they've gotten used to dealing with the IRA. I wasn't trying to insinuate that the IRA was involved today.

OK, I'm clear now. Thanks for explaining.
You are correct. It's hypocritical for one terrorist to point and say he did it!
