Members of the public run from a fire which had been lit in Likoni, Mombasa, Kenya Saturday, Nov. 12, 2005, where a "No" campaign rally against the country's draft constitution was dispersed by police officers. Police in Kenya shot dead three people during a rally by opponents of the country's draft constitution, a senior opposition leader said Saturday. The rally was held in the port city of Mombasa on Friday, just a week before the country is to vote on the proposed charter in a referendum. (AP Photo)NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) - Police fired on a rally in Mombasa against Kenya's draft constitution, fatally wounding four men, a senior opposition leader and a doctor said Saturday.

Police broke up the rally on Friday because President Mwai Kibaki, who has supported the proposed constitution ahead of a referendum on Nov. 21, was visiting the port city at the time, said Mutula Kilonzo, chairman of the main group opposing the document.
