BIRMINGHAM, England (AP) - Britain's largest Sunni group on Sunday issued a binding religious edict, known as a fatwa, condemning the July 7 suicide bombings in London.

The Sunni Council said the bombings in London trains and a double-decker bus were against Islam, adding that any type of suicide attack was against the Quran. The attacks killed 55 people, including the four bombers, who were Muslims.
