Three people have been killed at a mosque in north-west Tanzania in what police have described as a “terrorist-style attack”.
More than a dozen attackers carrying machetes and axes struck during evening prayers at the mosque in Mwanza district on Thursday, police said.
The police have made three arrests.
The BBC’s Sammy Awami in Tanzania says there are fears over the growing threat of Islamist militancy in the country, which has so far avoided such attacks.
No group has said it was behind the mosque killings.
