‘Terrorist’ grenade attack on Kenyan nightclub injures 10

    
A grenade attack on a popular nightclub outside the coastal Kenyan city of Mombasa wounded at least 10 people early on Thursday, police said.

The incident occurred at 3:30 a.m. (7:30 p.m. ET Wednesday) at a nightclub frequented by tourists in Diani some 15 miles outside Mombasa, they said. It resembled explosions in 2012 and 2013 that were blamed on Somali militants.

“The club was busy with New Year revelers. Three people appeared from the other side of the road and threw a grenade at the nightclub which (the grenade) exploded injuring 10 people. The attackers escaped on a motor bike,” Jack Ekakuro, Kwale area police chief told journalists at the scene.
