KENYA
Opposition lawmaker fatally shot
An opposition lawmaker was fatally shot Jan. 29 in the capital Nairobi and police said they were not ruling out "political motives."
Mugabe Were's death was sure to cause more tension as riots and ethnic fighting linked to Kenya's disputed presidential election convulse the country.
"We are treating it as a murder, but we are not ruling out anything, including political motives," Kenya police spokesman Eric Kiraithehe said.
