It was not clear if any of those wounded were foreigners, though sources say the victims looked to be \u2018of Asian origin.\u2019<\/p>\n
Survivors were rushed to Selian Referral Hospital, where doctors have had to amputate the leg of one of the victims, according to local press reports.<\/p>\n
Two teenagers \u2013 a boy and a girl aged 13 and 14 \u2013 are among those injured in the attack.<\/p>\n
The floor of the restaurant was covered in blood in the aftermath of the blast, with overturned chairs amid broken glass.<\/p>\n
No one has claimed responsibility, but two people have been arrested following the attack, Mngulu said.<\/p>\n
Both suspects are Tanzanians, he said, but offered no further details.<\/p>\n
