Eyewitnesses said three
grenades
were thrown from a passing vehicle. They exploded close to a busy bus station in downtown Nairobi. This incident was similar to the attacks which were carried out last October. Then one person was killed and more than 20 were injured as grenades were thrown into a bar and targeted another bus station. Those attacks happened just days after the Kenyan military had crossed into Somalia to fight al-Shabab. At the time the Kenyan authorities suggested
sympathisers
of the Islamist militant group may have been behind the blasts.
