Nairobi bomb blast kills three

Nairobi, 21 Dec – (ANA) - At least three people have been killed and 30 injured by a bomb explosion at a bus station in Kenya's capital, Nairobi, police have said.

The blast happened as passengers passed through a security checkpoint before boarding a coach, which was bound for Kampala in neighbouring Uganda.

One of those who died was carrying a bag which contained the bomb, Police Commissioner Matthew Iteere said.

Earlier, Uganda's police chief had warned of attacks by Somali militants.

Most of the wounded were Ugandans travelling home for Christmas, Red Cross official Nelly Muluka told the Associated Press. (ANA)
