Gleneagles - United States President George W Bush has vowed on Thursday the war on terrorism would continue following deadly blasts in London until "an ideology of hate" had been overcome.

"They have such evil in their heart that they will take the lives of innocent folks. The war on terrorism is on," Bush told reporters on the sidelines of the summit of Group of Eight leaders here.

"I was most impressed with the resolve of all the leaders in the room. Their resolve is as strong as my resolve," Bush said.

"We will find them and 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," Bush said.
