Kenya terror charges after Mombasa police raid mosque

More than 100 people arrested in the Kenyan port city of Mombasa have appeared in court on charges of membership of Somalia's Islamist militant group, al-Shabab, police say.

Police raided a mosque in the city on Sunday, saying militants were carrying out training there.

At least two people are feared dead in ensuing riots, which lasted hours.

Kenya has been under pressure to crack down on militants blamed for a spate of attacks, including the Westgate siege.
