G-8 leaders' attention is diverted to terrorism

Article Abstract:

Leaders at the G-8 Summit in Gleneagles, Scotland have been diverted to the concern of terrorism after the London Terrorist bombings of the Tube on Thursday morning. In Europe many see a continuing risk with being allied with the United States in Middle East conflicts. Al-Qaeda has allegedly claimed responsibility for the bombings and threatened more violence against United States allies in Europe, particularly Denmark and Italy.
