At least one person died after two bomb blasts in Kenya’s capital, Nairobi, where police stepped up security after the U.S. Embassy warned the country faced an imminent attack as Kenya’s army continues an assault on Somalia.
An explosion at a bus station in the city centre at around 8 p.m. yesterday killed one person and left at least eight others wounded, Nelly Muluka, a spokeswoman for the Kenya Red Cross said in a phone interview from Nairobi. Earlier yesterday, a further 12 people were injured when a grenade was thrown into a bar in the downtown area, police spokesman Charles Owino said in a separate phone interview.
