The deadly attack in London is likely to boost support for President George W. Bush and the war on global terrorism, international terrorism experts said yesterday, as political leaders united to condemn the bombings.

``I think this will probably help Bush because it will reinforce the sense that this is a very real threat,'' said Louise Richardson, executive dean at Radcliffe's Institute for Advanced Study. ``People are frightened and when they are frightened they tend to rally around what is familiar.''

But the bombings also could raise questions about whether Bush's focus on Iraq is leaving the home front at risk.

"If this is perceived as, 'He can't protect us at home,' then it will be a political black mark for Bush," said Gideon Rose of the Council on Foreign Relations. "Others will simply perceive it as, 'There are bad guys out there who still want to harm us and kill us, and so we need a leader who is forceful and resolute,' and that's Bush."
