MOMBASA, Kenya: Rioters clashed with police in Kenya's port city of Mombasa for a second day Tuesday, after the killing of an extremist cleric linked to Somalia's Al-Qaeda-allied militants, witnesses said.
Hundreds of angry youths threw stones, damaged cars and chanted slogans in support of slain preacher Aboud Rogo Mohammed, as police tried to contain them, an AFP reporter said.
"The riots have started again," said Khalid Hussein of Muslims for Human Rights, a local organization in Mombasa, Kenya's main port and a popular tourist town.
Staff in Mombasa's main hospital reported that at least 14 people had been injured in the clashes, while two anti-riot police were also wounded, police said.
As the rioting stretched into a second day, Somalia's Islamist Shebab fighters called on Kenyan Muslims to "take all necessary measures" to defend their religion.
"Muslims must take the matter into their own hands, stand united against the kuffar (unbelievers)
ISLAM: THE RELIGION OF RIOTS.
