A grenade attack in the Kenyan capital of Nairobi has killed at least four people and injured about 40 others.
Officials say the blasts Saturday came from grenades hurled at the outdoor terminal of a major bus station. Deputy Police Spokesman Charles Owino quotes witnesses as saying the grenades were thrown from a moving vehicle.
“Eye witnesses have told us that some people who were in a moving vehicle could have been responsible for throwing hand grenades into crowds that were at the bus station – as they (attackers) moved along the road.
