NAIVASHA, Kenya, Jan 27 (Reuters) - At least 10 people were killed in ethnic fighting in the Kenyan town of Naivasha on Sunday as rival tribal gangs set fire to homes and blocked roads.

A Reuters reporter in the Rift Valley town saw 10 bodies, six burnt and four hacked to death. Two truckloads of soldiers were deployed as members of President Mwai Kibaki's Kikuyu tribe fought Luos and Kalenjins who backed his rival Raila Odinga.
