Kenya 'turned into killing field'

Jan 17, BBC News

Kenyan opposition leader Raila Odinga has accused the government and the police of turning the country into "killing fields of the innocent".

His Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) said seven people were shot dead in Nairobi on the second day of protests against elections it says were rigged.

Police denied Mr Odinga's claim that they were "on a killing spree" and said they were acting "with restraint".

EU politicians have meanwhile urged it to cut aid to Kenya's government.
