Five Taliban leaders held in the US detention centre in Guantanamo Bay have agreed to be transferred to the Gulf state of Qatar.

肯尼亚首都内罗毕发生系列爆炸,至少4人丧生,多人受伤,据悉很多伤者情况严重。Will Ross在内罗毕报道。
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.
