{{Nine people including Yemeni nationals have been arrested in connection with Sunday night\u2019s grenade attack in Kenya’s Eastleigh suburb that left two people injured.}}<\/p>\n
Police say the suspects include eight Yemeni nationals who were staying a flat next to the scene where the explosion went off along Muratina Road few meters away from a mosque that was targeted a week ago.<\/p>\n
The other one is a Somali national who was a caretaker of the flat, police said.<\/p>\n
The grenade was looped into a compound that hosts a bar and exploded few meters away injuring the two.<\/p>\n
Nairobi Area police boss Moses Ombati said the suspects were arrested for interrogation.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt seems the target was the bar and the grenade was looped in there from a different compound but we will know more soon,\u201d said Ombati.<\/p>\n
Ombati said there was one grenade that was thrown at the scene adding police patrols will be enhanced in the area.<\/p>\n
Eastleigh has suffered previous attacks that police have blamed on Somalia’s Al Qaeda-linked Al Shabaab militant group.<\/p>\n
