A bullet lodged in the brain of an infant boy during an attack on a church near Kenya's coastal city of Mombasa has been removed following an operation, a hospital spokesman says.
Six people died in the raid, including 18-month-old Satrin Osinya's mother.
Doctors believe the bullet which killed her while she was shielding her son exited her body and buried itself in his head during the attack.  
The bullet was removed during a three-hour operation at the Kenyatta National Hospital in the capital, Nairobi, chief neurosurgeon Mwangi Gichuru said.
"The baby is fully awake and he is back to his old state," he said.
