Gunmen kill 11 in fresh Kenya coast attack: police

At least 11 people have been killed in a new attack on Kenya's coastal region, officials said Tuesday, one week after some 60 people died in twin massacres nearby.
Some were hacked to death with knives, others shot and executed at close quarters, mirroring tactics used in earlier attacks claimed by Somalia's Al-Qaeda-linked Shebab.
The attack took place overnight on a small village near the town of Witu, on the mainland some 50 kilometres (30 miles) west of the tourist island of Lamu.
Lamu County Commissioner Stephen Ikua called it an "unfortunate attack", the third in the area this month.
Five bodies were initially found, Ikua said, but a police source later said that six more bodies were found, taking the toll to 11.
