Kenyan police hunted for suspects a day after twin explosions at an open-air market in the capital, Nairobi, left at least 12 people dead and injured 99 more.
The blasts at the Gikomba market, about 2 kilometers (1.4 miles) east of the city center, were the second series of bombings in the city in two weeks. One explosion went off in a minibus while the other detonated within the market, according to the Twitter account of the National Disaster Operations Centre. Eight people died in the hospital yesterday, while four died at the scene, Kenyatta National Hospital spokesman Jacob Simiyu said.
