To my recollection, this is the first clear evidence of al Qaeda using Iraq as a base for attacks against the West since the beginning of the war in 2003.

But the story itself doesn't establish Iraq as a base, only that the same al Qaida figures involved in planning the London bombings are also active in Iraq. That's an important difference. The story implies that Syria is just such a base.
