Four people have been stabbed to death by rampaging youths in the Kenyan city of Mombasa, police say.<\/p>\n
The attacks came hours after police raided two mosques they accuse of having links with militant Islamists in neighbouring Somalia.<\/p>\n
One person was killed in the police raids and more than 200 were arrested.<\/p>\n
Witnesses said masked youths armed with machetes then went on the rampage in the Kisauni area of the city, attacking people waiting at bus stops.<\/p>\n
Several others were injured in the attacks, which were carried out in apparent revenge for the police action.<\/p>\n
‘Raids condemned’<\/span><\/p>\n “We are investigating the incident and have arrested some of the suspects,” local police chief Richard Ngatia said.<\/p>\n
