Three women have been killed after they attacked a police station in the Kenyan coastal city of Mombasa, a police official said Sunday. One of the women threw a petrol bomb at officers while another pulled out a knife, Mombasa police chief Parterson Maelo said, adding two policemen were wounded in the attack. The women, who were dressed in niqabs, were then shot by police. Maelo said the women arrived at the central police station at about 10:30 am to report a stolen telephone. Kenya faces a constant danger of being attacked by adherents of the Somali militant group al-Shabab, which has vowed retribution for Kenya's deployment of troops to Somalia in 2011.
