2 killed as Kenyan police disperse Opp supporters

NAIROBI: Two people were killed as Kenyan police tried to disperse supporters cheering a convoy carrying opposition leader Raila Odinga from the airport to central Nairobi, a Reuters photographer said.
Police fired tear gas at the convoy and used water cannon as they tried to stop it reaching the capital’s main business district. Some protesters threw stones at police. TV footage showed two vehicles on fire.
The deaths occurred as police and protesters fought on one of the main roads leading to the business district, the photographer, who was at the scene, said. Mwenda Njoka, the interior ministry spokesman, said he could not confirm the casualties, accusing the opposition supporters of blocking roads, burning vehicles and looting businesses along the route.
