Kenya Police storm Mosque as one person is feared dead At least one person has been killed and two security officers seriously injured following clashes in the Kenyan coastal city of Mombasa after police stormed a mosque after an al-Shabab flag was raised. Police raided the Musa mosque on Sunday in the Majengo district after worshippers, believed to be sympathisers of the Somalia-based armed group, defied a police warning not to meet. The police fired tear-gas and live rounds over the heads of taunting crowds, who hurled stones back, Reuters news agency reported. Clashes are on going in the neighbourhood. One policeman was found sprawled in a pool of blood in a bathroom inside the mosque. We found him locked up in a bathroom after we heard him groaning. It appears like they slaughtered him, said one armed policeman on the rock-strewn street outside the mosque. There was no immediate confirmation from the police whether the officer had survived the attack.
