Dozens of armed attackers stormed a village in western Kenya killing at least 13 people, police said today.

The area’s police chief Bernard Muli said their victims included a pregnant woman and a three-year-old.

It was not immediately clear if the violence was linked to Kenya’s disputed election. The region has seen some of the worst inter-tribe violence in the recent troubles, but it is also the scene of frequent clashes over land.
