Kenya's Deputy Prime Minister Uhuru Kenyatta and two others have appeared at the International Criminal Court in The Hague, accused of links to 2007-8 post-election violence.

The three are seen as allies of President Mwai Kibaki.

Three suspects connected to Mr Kibaki's rival, Prime Minister Raila Odinga, appeared on Thursday.

All six are accused of crimes against humanity during the violence in which some 1,000 people died.

Some 500,000 people were driven from their homes, 100,000 of whom still remain in camps.

The violence broke out after supporters of President Kibaki were accused of trying to rig the presidential election in December 2007.
