Islamist militants strike back against Benghazi renegades; 15 killed (CNN, June 2, 2014)
http://edition.cnn.com/2014/06/02/world/africa/libya-violence/index.html
“At least 15 people were killed and more than 40 wounded in battles between the Jihadist militant group Ansar al Sharia and forces loyal to a renegade general in the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi on Monday, according to hospitals in the city.
Fighting erupted at about 2 a.m. when Ansar al Sharia fighters surrounded and attacked a Benghazi base belonging to a Libyan army special forces unit that allied itself with renegade Gen. Khalifa Haftar, according to residents and Col. Mohammed al-Hijazi, a spokesman for the self-declared Libyan National Army.
Battles continued for hours in different parts of the city through the morning hours. Live pictures on the privately owned Libya al-Ahrar TV showed plumes of black smoke rising as explosions and gunfire could be heard in the distance.
The fighting in Libya’s second-largest city comes more than two weeks after the previously retired Haftar — without the consent of the Libyan government and military command in Tripoli — launched a ground an air assault against Islamist groups in Benghazi….”

Kenya riots in Mandera after ‘al-Shabab’ clerics killed (BBC, June 2, 2014)
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-27660805
“Kenyan police have fired tear gas to disperse rioters angry at the killing of two clerics accused of belonging to Islamist group al-Shabab. Police said the Muslim clerics were armed with guns and hand grenades.
The protesters in the north-eastern town of Mandera say the clerics were well-known religious figures, and had nothing to do with al-Shabab. Mandera town is close to the border with Somalia, and has been affected by violence blamed on Islamist militants.
Most of its inhabitants are ethnic Somalis. The demonstrators lit fires along busy roads in the town while engaging the police in running battles.
Several Muslim clerics accused of links to al-Shabab have been shot dead in the coastal town of Mombasa in recent years. The residents said the two clerics were shot dead as they emerged from a mosque where they had been praying.
Local official Michael Ole Tialal said the two were part of a three-man gang returning from Somalia. He said they had gone to help an al-Shabab operative cross into Kenya illegally and collect weapons in a night-time operation.
Mr Tialal said security forces had tried to stop the men’s vehicle when the three occupants threw hand grenades. The two men were shot dead but the third escaped. Police say they have recovered eight hand grenades from the suspects’ car…”
