Nairobi Gikomba Market Blasts: Latest Photos of the Bomb Attacks in Kenya's Capital
Two explosions ripped through a market in Nairobi earlier today, killing 10 people and injuring 70 more in the latest in a string of increasingly frequent terror attacks.
It was not immediately clear who was responsible for the attack but the capital has been besieged with attacks by the al-Qaida-affiliated Islamist group al-Shabaab.
The group are waging an insurgency against the Kenyan government because of the presence of Kenyan troops in neighbouring Somalia.
The attack comes just a day after British officials warned tourists to leave the coastal resort of Mombasa because of a heightened risk of terrorism.
