US President George W. Bush said the bomb blast that ripped through the United Nations headquarters in Baghdad was ?testing our will? but would not derail US efforts to rebuild Iraq. ?We will persevere through every hardship,? he said.

Bush, who has had little success so far in persuading other nations to send peacekeepers to Iraq, said: ?The terrorists want to return to the days of torture chambers and mass graves. All nations of the world face a challenge and a choice.? The president announced no new measures to improve security after the attack, but pledged to provide ?all possible assistance? to the UN rescue and recovery effort. ?Every sign of progress in Iraq adds to the desperation of the terrorists and the remnants of Saddam Hussein?s brutal regime. The civilized world will not be intimidated, and these killers will not determine the future of Iraq?.
