THis discussion is too serious for the kind diatribe it has been reduced to be.Two policemen feared dead in Kisauni grenade attack
Two policemen were feared dead after youth protesting the killing of fiery preacher Aboud Rogo hurled a grenade at a contingent of the officers in Kisauni, Mombasa.
Sixteen other officers were rushed to hospital after suffering injuries during the latest incident at Mwandoni Tuesday.
Earlier, the youth had set the Presbyterian Church of East Africa (PCEA) Kisauni on fire and vandalised the parish minister's house.
The unruly mob stole, among other things, at least 100 bibles.
Twelve people were arrested in Mombasa during the confrontation between police and rowdy youth.
Ten were bundled into a police van at Majengo area while two others were taken into custody near Msikiti Musa in the restive town.

Here is my theory based on the evidence on the ground. Sheikh Aboud was killed by Al-Shabaab. This is why. Since last October when KDF invaded Somalia, to destroy Al-shabaab, Kenya has suffered a series of grenade attacks in public places blamed on Al-shabaab, operatives and sympathizers in the country.
The purpose of the attacks was ti intimidate Kenyans so that they pressure the government to withdraw its forces from Somalia. That failed. Then this year, a number of churches and and church meetings were attacked by the same goons. Again this did not provoke the kind of outcry Al shabaab was looking for. And the Kenyan Military was surely closing on them.
Then Al-shabaab , the evil force that it is, had to target one of their own, Aboud Rogo who allegedly had links with Al-Shabaab. Being a cleric and an influential personality, his death would provoke violent response from his supporters.
News reports have it that the Youth today were attacking anyone and everyone. The youth burned Churches and other property. They also attacked a Police truck with a hand grenade. Apparently the killers of the Sheikh are still around Mombasa working to provoke more violence.
Apparently, the idea is to provoke violence in a larger scale so that in the Coast province so that Public outcry would force the government to withdraw from Somalia and thus save Kismayu and Al shabaab, the shame of annihilation. Just a thought
