DHAKA: A church has been set on fire in the Kenyan port of Mombasa as rioters protest against killing of Muslim cleric Ibrahim “Rogo” Omar.

“They have burnt the Salvation Army church and we are now trying to repulse them with tear gas,” AFP quotes a senior police officer as saying.

Mr 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.
