NAIROBI (Reuters) - Four men torched a car from the ride hailing company Uber [UBER.UL] in the Kenyan capital Nairobi on Wednesday, police said, on the same day Uber launched its services in Mombasa, Kenya's second largest city.

The driver escaped unhurt, police said. This is the second attack against Uber cars in Kenya in two months.
