| Kenyan Muslim groups threaten protest over Islamist shooting | |  By Joseph Akwiri MOMBASA, Kenya (Reuters) - Two prominent Kenyan Muslim rights groups threatened on Wednesday to stage street protests in the port city of Mombasa unless the government met a Saturday deadline to say who had killed a prominent Islamist. The ultimatum was issued a day after the drive-by shooting of Abubakar Shariff, also known as Makaburi, who the United States and U.N. Security Council accuse of supporting the Somali militant group al Shabaab. Mombasa-based Muslims for Human Rights (Muhuri) and Haki Africa have in the past both accused Kenya's Anti-Terror Police Unit (ATPU) of carrying out extra-judicial killings of well-known Muslims, a charge the police have always strongly denied. Makaburi's close ally and friend, preacher Aboud Rogo, was killed in a drive-by shooting in 2012.
