Bombs Explode on Two Buses Packed With Kenya Commuters

In Nairobi, Kenya, 3 people were killed and at least 60 were wounded when when 2 homemade bombs exploded on a bus traveling on one of the busiest highways. The deputy head of the bomb disposal unit said the blasts were caused by improvised explosive devices. No one has taken responsibility for the explosions yet. This incident occurred just one day after a grenade attack at a bus stop in Mombasa killing 4 people. President Uhuru Kenyatta said Sunday that terrorists were trying to provoke a sectarian war. Kenya has been hit with many terrorist attacks since they sent troops into Somalia to fight the Shabab in 2011. The militants, affiliated with Al Qaeda, vowed to take their campaign to Kenya in revenge.
