Suspected Grenade Blast Kills Three in Nairobi, Standard Says
A suspected grenade explosion yesterday at a bus terminal in Nairobi, Kenya’s capital, killed 3 people, including the man thought to have been carrying the device, the Standard newspaper reported today.
Two people died while undergoing treatment at the city’s privately-owned M.P. Shah Hospital, the newspaper said, citing doctor Peter Wanyoike. At least 30 people were injured in the explosion, which ripped into the side of a bus bound for the Ugandan capital, Kampala, it reported.
Police spokesman Erick Kiraithe said in a phone interview last night that one person had been killed and 26 others injured.
