Kenya : One Killed, Scores Hurt in Mombasa Blast
One person was killed and 12 others seriously wounded when an explosive went off in a bar in Mombasa only hours after the US Government issued a terror alert and warned its citizens to keep-off the coastal city.
The body of the victim was still lying in a pool of blood by the time of filing this story as 12 others who sustained injuries were rushed to the Coast General Hospital Sunday night.
The explosive went off shortly after 9pm Kenyan time and happened on a day the Kenyan Navy carted away two explosive devices found floating on the Indian Ocean along the shores.
Police immediately swung into action and sealed off the scene of explosion at a bar christened Jericho in Mishomoroni in Kisauni Constituency of Mombasa County.
