GLENEAGLES, Scotland (AP) - U.S. President George W. Bush's statement on the attacks in London, delivered at the Group of Eight summit in Gleneagles, Scotland:

"I spent some time recently with the prime minister, Tony Blair; had the opportunity to express our heartfelt condolences to the people of London, people who lost lives.

"I appreciate Prime Minister Blair's steadfast determination and restraint.

"He's on his way now to London here from the G-8 to speak directly to the people of London, to carry a message of solidarity with him.

"This morning I've been in contact with our homeland security folks and I instructed them to be in touch with local and state officials about the facts of what took place here and in London and to be extra vigilant as our folks start heading to work.

"The contrast between what we've seen on the TV screens here, what's taken place in London, what's taken place here is incredibly vivid to me.

"On the one hand, we got people here who are working to alleviate poverty and to help rid the world of the pandemic of AIDS and that are working on ways to have a clean environment. And on the other hand, you've got people killing innocent people. And the contrast couldn't be clearer between the intentions and the hearts of those of us who care deeply about human rights and human liberty, and those who kill, those who've got such evil in their heart that they will take the lives of innocent folks.

"The war on terror goes on. I was most impressed by the resolve of all the leaders in the room. Their resolve is as strong as my resolve. And that is, we will not yield to these people, will not yield to the terrorists.

"We will find them. We will bring them to justice. And at the same time we will spread an ideology of hope and compassion that will overwhelm their ideology of hate."
