| Gunmen kill two in attack on Kenyan church |
| 2014-03-24 |
| Attackers shot dead two people Sunday and wounded 10 when they burst into a church service near the Kenyan port city of Mombasa, spraying the congregation with bullets, police said. Local police chief Robert Mureithi, from the Likoni district just south of Mombasa, said the gunmen had killed the two worshippers -- a man and a woman -- and then fled, the latest violence amid heightened warnings of a threat of Islamist attacks. "Two people have been killed, they were shot by gunmen who shot indiscriminately at worshippers and then fled," said Mureithi. "About 10 others were injured and they have been taken to hospital," he added, without giving details on how seriously they were wounded. Kenya's National Disaster Operation Centre said there had been "mass casualties" in the attack. There was no immediate claim of responsibility. |
