MOMBASA Kenya (Reuters) - About 500 families in the northern coastal region of Kenya have fled to nearby camps or left the area after gunmen killed 29 people over the weekend, Kenya Red Cross said, the latest in a series of deadly attacks in Lamu County.
Gunmen attacked government offices, torched a church and executed men in two small towns in Lamu County on Saturday night. About 65 people were killed in two similar raids in June in Mpeketoni town and a nearby village, in the same county.
