Kenya church fire kills 15 who fled mob

NAIROBI, Kenya - A mob torched a church sheltering hundreds of Kenyans fleeing election violence on Tuesday, and at least 15 people burned to death, police and a witness said as the president came under increasing pressure over the disputed vote.
The European Union and the United States have refused to congratulate President Mwai Kibaki. The EU and four top Kenyan elections officials have called for an independent inquiry in what had been east Africa's most stable and prosperous democracy.
Violence in response to the closest presidential election in Kenya's history has flared from the shantytowns of Nairobi to resort towns on the sweltering coast, killing at least 228 people since Saturday, according to accounts from police, morgues and witnesses.
Among them were at least 15 who died Tuesday in Eldoret, some 185 miles from the capital, Nairobi.
"There was a huge mob; they attacked the church," said a witness, who asked that his name not be used for fear of reprisals. "We counted 15 to 20 bodies."
Two police officers, who were not authorized to speak to the media, confirmed that several people burned to death.
