Officials say At least three people have been killed after two buses driving on a busy highway in the Kenyan capital Nairobi blew up. The bombings came just a day after twin attacks hit the port city of Mombasa, including a grenade attack on a bus, which killed four, and a bombing outside a luxury beach hotel. Blood and broken glass littered the road where the two buses stood about one kilometer from each other. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the latest assault, but Kenya has blamed similar attacks on the al-Qaeda-linked Somali group al-Shabab, which killed at least 67 people at the Westgate shopping centre in Nairobi last September.
