NAIROBI, Jan 17 (Reuters) - Kenya's opposition leader Raila Odinga said police shot dead seven protesters in Nairobi on Thursday during the second day of demonstrations against President Mwai Kibaki's disputed re-election.

"Today, seven people have been killed in Kasarani constituency," Odinga told reporters. "Police are shooting innocent civilians at will ... The government has turned this country into a killing field of innocents."

Police were not immediately available to respond. (Reporting by Daniel Wallis, Writing by Andrew Cawthorne)
