NAIROBI (Reuters) - An adulterous Kenyan couple needed doctors to untangle their love affair after becoming stuck during an illicit liaison, a Kenyan newspaper reported on Wednesday. The Kenya Times said police had to fire tear gas to disperse hundreds of curious people who gathered at a rural hospital in northern Mandera district for a glimpse of the love-tied couple. The Times said the drama started when the lovers - said to be a district policeman and the wife of a local elder - summoned an ambulance to help them out of their predicament. "Thousands of excited residents thronged the hospital and forced the medical officer of health to seek assistance from the police," the Times said. It said the incident "paralysed all activity in the town as scores of dwellers, young and old, trickled to the hospital to catch a glimpse of the strange encounter". The newspaper said the couple had to be flown to

Nairobi to be separated.
