Muslim leaders in the United Kingdom have reacted with shock to the news that the London bombers may have been British-born young people from their community. The Muslim Council of Britain's secretary general, Iqbal Sacranie, said it had received the news with "anguish, shock and horror". "Nothing in Islam can ever justify the evil actions of the bombers," he was quoted as saying by BBC. Sir Iqbal said the "criminals" who bombed London needed to be distanced from the Islamic faith. "They happen to be Muslims and it's not that Islam is the problem, it is those individuals, it is the criminality that is there," Sir Iqbal said. He was speaking after police revealed they believed four men, three of them from West Yorkshire, had carried out the bombings and probably died in doing so. --MORE 1308 Local Time 1008 GMT
