BEIRUT, June 29 (Reuters) - Lebanon's top Shi'ite Muslim cleric issued a fatwa edict on Wednesday banning shooting in the air after three people were killed by gunfire celebrating the re-election of the Shi'ite parliament speaker.

Shooting in the air and setting off fireworks among people or on the streets, Grand Ayatollah Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah said, "is forbidden because of its major negative consequences and because it is intimidating and annoying".

Shooting in the air annoying? Who'd a thunk?
