International Olympic Committee (IOC) members stood in silence Friday at their session in Singapore in memory of those killed and injured in the London bomb explosions.
The IOC also reaffirmed the bomb blasts would not affect the decision it made Wednesday to award the 2012 Games to London.
IOC President Jacques Rogge told the members, “the IOC was appalled by the barbaric attack. It has sadly proved there is no safe haven and that security must remain the priority whenever Olympics are staged”.
Craig Reedie, head of Britain’s Olympic Committee, said the attacks would not stop London hosting “an excellent Games”.
“I can assure you that when we return to London these terrible acts will in no way reduce our resolve to run excellent Olympic Games in 2012.
