NAIROBI, Kenya: Benson Kibue

Benson Kibue: The explosion happened as the minibus was travelling from Eastleigh neighbourhood of Nairobi to the city centre, said Benson Kibue, chief of police in Nairobi. Investigators believe an improvised explosive device was used in the Saturday attack that injured at least 25 others, he said, according to Times Colonist. Kenya has been the scene of multiple terrorist attacks since the country sent its military to Somalia in 2011 to fight the extremist Somali militant group al-Shabab and NAIROBI, Kenya - At least four people were killed Saturday after a device exploded inside a passenger van in the capital, Kenyan police said, in what appears to be the first attack inside Nairobi since the deadly terrorist assault on an upscale mall in September. Sometimes called Kenya's "Little Mogadishu," Eastleigh is known for its large population of ethnic Somalis. The neighbourhood came under fresh scrutiny by investigators following the Sept. 21 attack on Nairobi's Westgate Mall, a bloody four-day siege in which at least 67 people were killed. A Western official familiar with the Westgate attack investigation told The Associated Press last month that all four attackers were ethnic Somalis who had spent time in Eastleigh. The official confirmed that all four gunmen arrived in Kenya in June and attended a gym in the neighbourhood. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
