\"GUNMEN\"<\/a>Four people have been killed after gunmen opened fire in a church near the Kenyan city of Mombasa, officials say.<\/p>\n

They say a number of people were injured after at least two gunmen walked into the church in Likoni and started shooting indiscriminately.<\/p>\n

The attackers managed to escape on foot before police arrived.<\/p>\n

No group has claimed responsibility for the shooting, but officials have blamed Islamist militants from the al-Shabab group for similar attacks.<\/p>\n

“They were ordinary looking guys, one of them tall, dark and wearing a long-sleeved shirt. They walked casually as if all was OK,” eyewitness Peter Muasya was quoted as saying by Reuters.<\/p>\n

“Then they started shooting at those of us who were standing outside.”<\/p>\n

Blood-soaked Bibles and overturned chairs lay strewn across the church’s floor after the shooting.<\/p>\n

Security has been stepped up in the area in recent days following the arrest of two men last week who police said had bombs hidden in their car.<\/p>\n

There have been several incidents of violence in Mombasa in recent months, involving the security forces and Islamist extremists.<\/p>\n

Mombasa and Kenya’s capital Nairobi have suffered a series of attacks since Kenya sent troops into Somalia in 2011 to crush the al-Shabab militants.<\/p>\n
