The FBI will link the rising cost of ice cream to Al Qaeda as will homeland security as it justifies their budget, the reality is just because a dude in the US decides to 'join the jihad' doesn't mean AQ' has anything to do with it other than some web page operator wishing him well in his mayrterdom.
Even the guys in the UK, who were way more dialed in were still fairly tenuous in their actual links.
It suits both parties purpose though to claim Al Qaeda links though, it makes some sad lonely idiot with a bomb feel more important and it, as I said, justifies extra dosh for the cops.
If it was any organised action we would have had responsibility claimed by now though
