"30px - The Prime Minister, Tony Blair, was at the G8 summit in Glenagles, Scotland on the morning of the attacks. He described the attacks as “barbaric.” “Our determination to defend our values and our way of life is greater than their determination to cause death and destruction to innocent people in a desire to impose extremism upon the world,” he said. The Prime Minister left the G8 summit in Gleneagles despite Downing Street initially suggesting that reports he would return to London were false [http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/news/archives/2005/07/07/explosions_plunge_london_into_chaos.html. He arrived back in London to consult with emergency services. The summit continued in his absence and he returned to Gleneagles in the evening. ."
