Mombasa bar hit by grenade attack

One of the Iranians was detained Wednesday in Nairobi, the other Thursday in
Mombasa, police said.

Police in Nairobi have also seized bomb ingredients from two young men who
were stopped during a routine patrol, according to a police officer who
spoke on condition of anonymity Saturday.

The call to shun Kenya’s second city which lies on the Indian Ocean is likely
to deal a further blow to tourism, a key revenue sector for the east African
nation that only recently recovered from the violent fallout of a disputed
2007 presidential election.

Since Kenya invaded southern Somalia in October 2011 to help oust
al-Qaeda-linked Shabaab insurgents, it has seen a wave of grenade attacks
and kidnappings of foreign tourists blamed on the Shebab or their supporters.
