Kenya: I Just Do Not Know What To Say.

Oct 01 2012

A nine-year-old boy was killed and at least three other children were seriously injured in a grenade attack on a Sunday school in Nairobi yesterday.

Suspected Islamist militants attacked St Polycarp's Church on Juja Road during a worship service for children aged between six and ten. Witnesses reported a loud explosion then 'people started running for their lives'. A total of nine children were hospitalised, according to Agence France-Presse.
Police blamed sympathisers of Al Shabaab extremists in neighbouring Somalia, angered by Kenya's role in UN-backed efforts to oust the group. The previous day, Al Shabaab was driven from Kismayo, its last urban stronghold in Somalia. St Polycarp's is near Eastleigh, a district of Nairobi popularly known as 'Little Mogadishu' due to its many Somali immigrants. (Release Int.)
