Sunni body issues fatwa on attacks

Britain8217;s largest Sunni group today issued a fatwa condemning the July 7 terror bombings in London.

Jamaat-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat, or the Sunni Council, said the bombings were against Islam, adding that any type of suicide attack was against the Koran.

8220;Leaving aside the atrocities being committed in Palestine and Iraq, the attacks in London have no Islamic justification, are totally condemned and we equally condemn those who may have been behind the masterminding of these acts, those who incited these youths in order to further their own perverted ideology,8221; the group8217;s fatwa said.

8220;We wish to clarify again and to categorically condemn all forms of terrorism, be it state terrorism or otherwise.8221;
