Kenyan lawmakers have
traded blows and the deputy speaker had water thrown on her amid a
chaotic parliamentary session called to
push through a tough new
security bill. Opposition MPs shouted and ripped up copies of the bill, warning that Kenya was becoming a "police state".
Four lawmakers were assaulted and another two engaged in a fist-fight.
Parliamentary officials adjourned the debate twice, only for the chaos to continue when it resumed a third time.
The government says it needs more powers to fight militant Islamists threatening Kenya's security.
