Mombasa -- One person was killed in the Kenyan coastal city of Mombasa yesterday after youths rioted to protest the killing of an alleged Islamist militant.
Unidentified gunmen shot and killed Hassan Guti on Saturday as he was driving in the city with his wife and niece. Riots broke out yesterday after his burial. Police officially denied involvement in the killing, but sources within the force said Guti was slain by the elite Anti-Terrorism Police Unit.
| Sort of like the RAB but not as experienced. The RAB would never have permitted a riot after a "crossfire"... |
Police said Guti was wanted on twelve systems linked to the shooting of a senior police officer in Mombasa in August and was facing a murder charge for a separate incident.
| So his mother likely didn't love him... |
