Three women have been killed after trying to stage an attack at the main police station in the Kenyan port city of Mombasa, officials say.<\/p>\n
The women, wearing hijabs, entered the station saying they wanted to report a stolen phone, police say.<\/p>\n
One of the women pulled a knife and another threw a petrol bomb, starting a fire. Two officers were injured.<\/p>\n
It is not clear who is behind the attack, but Islamist group al-Shabab has staged numerous attacks in Kenya.<\/p>\n
The Somali-based group has been targeting Kenya since 2011, when Kenyan troops were deployed to rid Somalia of the militants.<\/p>\n
