Four people have been killed in Kenya’s port of Mombasa during clashes between police and those angered at the killing of a Muslim cleric, the Red Cross says.

Seven people have also been wounded during the disturbances, while a church was set alight.

The cleric Ibrahim “Rogo” Omar and three other people were shot dead in Mombasa as they drove home on Thursday night after preaching.

It comes two weeks after the deadly attack on a Nairobi shopping centre.

Gunmen kill Kenyan Muslim cleric, unrest feared

MOMBASA, Kenya, Oct 4 (Reuters) – Gunmen in Kenya shot dead a popular Muslim cleric who preached at a mosque linked in the past to Somali Islamist militants, police said on Friday, raising tensions in the port city of Mombasa.

The apparent assassination of Sheikh Ibrahim Amor, who died along with three other men who were in the same car, follows the killing of more than 60 people in an attack on a Nairobi shopping mall claimed by Somalia’s militant al Shabaab group.

The shooting took place late on Thursday night, just a few hundred metres (yards) from where another firebrand cleric, Aboud Rogo, was shot dead in his vehicle in August 2012 in a strikingly similar attack.

The killing of Rogo, who was also linked to al Shabaab by both the Kenyan government and the United States, unleashed deadly riots in Mombasa’s run-down neighbourhoods where he commanded a loyal support base.

Like Rogo, Amor was popular among Muslim youths in Mombasa and along Kenya’s Indian Ocean coastline, where many Muslims feel marginalised by the predominantly Christian Nairobi government.

Mombasa rioters set fire to church after imam with al-Shabaab links is shot dead

Rioters set fire to a church in Mombasa, Kenya’s second city, today amid widespread anger at the murder of a prominent Muslim cleric.

Police used teargas to disperse the crowds, and at least one protestor was shot and wounded. Similar riots last year, also sparked by the murder of a Muslim preacher, lasted for three days and left four people dead.
