Another Muslim leader killed on Kenyan coast

A police official in Kenya says unknown gunmen shot and killed the chairman of the Council of Imams and Preachers of Kenya.

A Mombasa police commander, Henry Ondiek, said the motive behind the killing of Sheik Mohamed Idris was not known. He was shot Tuesday as he left a mosque.

Idris is the fourth high-profile Muslim to be killed by unknown gunmen in Mombasa. Sheik Aboud Rogo Mohammed was assassinated in August 2012. A year later another mosque leader was killed. In April gunmen shot and killed Abubakar Shariff Ahmed, known as Makaburi, near a mosque.

The murders remain unsolved. Human rights activists allege that the government is behind targeted assassinations.

Kenya is fighting a wave of terror attacks believed to be perpetrated by Somali militants and their supporters.
