Grenade attack in Kenyan capital kills 15

One person died and 15 people were wounded when a grenade was thrown into a church in Kenya’s capital during Sunday service, Washington Post reported.

Parishioners are said to be blaming the attack on a land dispute in the East African metropolis.

Nairobi’s deputy police chief, Moses Ombati, said the grenade exploded at God’s House of Miracles International Church in Nairobi.
Doctors at Nairobi’s Kenyatta Hospital said they had treated 11 patients wounded in the attack. None of the injuries were life-threatening, said a doctor who refused to give his name because he was not authorized to speak to reporters.

Steven Mulinge, a church pianist who was among the wounded, recalled seeing a man walking through the entrance and hurling what looked like a stone at the altar.
