Kenyan riot police have fired tear gas to disperse youth demonstrating the killing of a Muslim leader. The crowd in the port city of Mombasa had been protesting the death of Abubaker Shariff Ahmed, the third religious cleric to be killed in two years. A lack of trust between the Muslim community and the government has led some to suspect the authorities involvement in Ahmed's death. Al Jazeera's Tania Page reports from Mombasa.
