Kenyan election sparks deadly raids

Multiple attacks against security forces in Kenya have killed at least 12 people as queues built up to vote in the country’s first general election for five years.

A group of 200 secessionists armed with guns, machetes and bows and arrows set a trap for police in the pre-dawn hours, killing five officers. One attacker also died. The group – the Mombasa Republican Council – had threatened election day attacks.
