Swedish tourists evacuated from Kenya

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Jan. 6 (UPI) -- More than 300 Swedish tourists have been evacuated from Kenya amid chaos following the African nation's contentious presidential election.

Swedish travel operators pulled 354 tourists from Mombasa Saturday -- five days ahead of schedule, The Local reported Sunday.

It is not suspected the tourists encountered any violence first-hand, the Local said.

Travel officials have canceled all remaining flights from Sweden to Kenya for the season.
