Kenyan authorities suspect islamist terrorists associated with Al-Qaeda are behind a grenade attack on a house near a church in eastern Kenya, killing two people and wounding at least two others.
Officials say it happened in the town of Garissa around midnight Saturday. A second grenade found nearby did not explode.
The violence comes as many people were planning to attend prayers for the Muslim feast of Eid al-Adha.
No one has claimed responsibility, but investigators are looking toward the Islamist terrorist group al-Shabab, which has staged attacks inside Kenya.
The Kenyan military launched an offensive in Somali three weeks ago aimed at al-Shabab. Al-Shabab terrorists have crossed into Kenyan territory from Somalia and kidnapped several foreigners. VoA
