Kenya Dept: Militant Muslim killed in Kenya, sparking riots, according to The Star. A senior police source said seven people were hurt when a grenade exploded. There were no fatalities in the attack and nAIROBI, KENYA Police and protesters fought running battles as a violent backlash to the killing of a radical Islamic preacher carried into a second day Tuesday in Kenya's second-largest city of Mombasa, leaving several people hospitalized including seven injured in a grenade attack, police and human rights officials said. The killing Monday of Aboud Rogo Mohammed, who was shot to death as he drove in his car with his family, falls into a pattern of extrajudicial killings and forced disappearances of suspected terrorists, allegedly being orchestrated by Kenyan police, human rights groups say. The attack has brought to the surface tensions in a city established centuries ago by Muslim traders from the Arabian peninsula and the Indian subcontinent, now home to hundreds of thousands of people of Arab descent and a large Somali population.
