MOMBASA, Kenya (Reuters) - Police used teargas to disperse youths in the Kenyan coastal city of Mombasa on Wednesday who were gathering to protest against President Mwai Kibaki's disputed re-election, witnesses said.

About 100 opposition supporters were scattered in the melee, but immediately began regrouping, locals said. The opposition has called for three days of nationwide anti-Kibaki protests.
