A group of gangsters on Wednesday night stormed a mosque in Tanzania's northern region of Mwanza, killing three people, including the leader of the mosque, police have said.
Ahmed Msangi, the Mwanza regional police commander, said the trio was hacked to death by sharp objects, Xinhua reported.
A 13-year-old boy was wounded as he tried to get out of the mosque using the women's entrance. He has been rushed to the Nyamagana district hospital.
