Worst Attacks in London Since WW2

GLENEAGLES, Scotland - President Bush vowed Thursday that the United States "will not yield to the terrorists" after a series of deadly bombings ripped through London's transportation network during the morning rush hour, killing dozens and injuring hundreds more.

“The war on terrorism goes on,” he said from Gleneageles, Scotland, where he was attending the Group of Eight summit. "We will not yield to these people, we will not yield to the terrorists."

Minutes before, British Prime Minister Tony Blair had read a statement from all the leaders gathered at the summit being held at a posh resort here.

Though Congress was in recess, lawmakers were quick to condemn the attacks. Traveling in Africa, Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., denounced them as “cowardly acts against innocent people.”

“The United States cannot be intimidated and our efforts will not be deterred,” Frist said in a statement. “We stand by the British people in their hour of need as they have done for us. My sympathies go out to the people of London.”
