A radical Muslim cleric in Kenya, Abubakar Shariff Ahmed, has been shot dead outside the coastal city of Mombasa by unknown gunmen.
According to the police and other eye witnesses, his corpse lay on a road with what appeared to be wounds on the head and body.
Abubakar Shariff, known as Makaburi, had been listed by the United Nations (UN) as a recruiter for the al-Qaeda-linked al-Shabab group.
He is the third Muslim cleric to be killed in Mombasa since 2012.
Meanwhile, riots broke out in some parts of the city as news of the cleric’s killing spread and the police had fired into the air to push back furious supporters of Mr Shariff, as his family arrived to identify the body.
