Gunmen killed at least four people and injured several others in the Kenyan port city of Mombasa on Sunday, police said.
Witnesses said gunmen went on a shooting rampage on the edge of Kenya's second-largest city and scattered leaflets saying the attack was retribution for last month's raid on Mpeketoni, a town about 190 miles north of Mombasa along Kenya's Indian Ocean coastline.
"Some suspects ... shot at people indiscriminately and as a result, four people have been killed and several others injured," said Robert Kitur, Mombasa County police commander.
"They did not steal anything. They just shot."
Mr Kitur said the police were pursuing the gunmen.
