Kenyan Grenade Attack Kills 2

   VOA News

   Kenyan authorities suspect militants are behind a grenade attack on a
   house near a church in eastern Kenya, killing two people and wounding
   at least two others.
   Officials say it happened in the town of Garissa around midnight
   Saturday. A second grenade found nearby did not explode.
   The violence comes as many people were planning to attend prayers for
   the Muslim feast of Eid al-Adha.
   No one has claimed responsibility, but investigators are looking toward
   the Islamist militant group al-Shabab, which has staged attacks inside
   Kenya to protest military operations in Somalia.
   The Kenyan military launched an offensive in Somali three weeks ago
   aimed at militants. The government has accused al-Shabab militants of
   crossing into Kenyan territory from Somalia and kidnapping several
   foreigners.

   Some information for this report was provided by AP and AFP.
