Kenya orders probe

The Prime Minister of Kenya has ordered an investigation into Friday’s demonstrations called to protest the arrest of controversial Jamaican Muslim cleric Sheikh Abdullah al-Faisal.

News agency reports say that at least five people died during the protests at Nairobi’s main mosque.

Meanwhile, Kenyan police say they detained dozens of illegal Somali immigrants during a raid on a city neighbourhood on Sunday night.

The raid followed claims by the government that Somalia’s hardline Islamist Shebab group infiltrated the demonstration.

Abdullah al-Faisal has been in Kenyan custody for more than a week after the authorities tried and failed to deport him.

He served four years in a British jail for inciting racial hatred.
