A second grenade attack in Nairobi

KiN Reports
The 'bloody' monday started by a man throwing a grenade at a bar in downtown Nairobi at around 1am. The same day a deadly attack hit the city at 19:00 (EAT) when a second grenade was detonated at the OTC bus terminus on Temple Road leaving one killed and several injured. The attacked terminus is near Jack and Jill Supermarket and the Salvation Army Headquarters where matatus plying the route to Kiambu pick and drop passengers.

According to Police Commisioner, Mathew Iteere, "It is clear their targets were innocent commuters who crowd the area during rush hours to catch a means home." The Director of Criminal Investigation Department Mr Ndegwa Muhoro joined Mr Iteere in comandeering rescue vehicles to help the injured as the police and GSU cordoned the scene of the explosion.
