'James the just'?

Can you help at all - I have been looking at Josephus and seem to remember
reading elsewhere (but I cannot remember whether I read this or was told
it) that some people attributed the Roman siege on Jerusalem and subsequent
destruction of the Temple to the death of James 'the just' and G*d's
judgement for his death?
Are there any sources that people know of that state this, as I have just
read in the most recent TF that the second destruction was due to needless
divisions among the people.
As I say I have only heard (or read) this somewhere that I cannot recall.
Has anyone heard this too - do you have sources?
Many Thanks,
