TARGET

“I was sitting outside my business premises when a Probox drove past, followed by a heavy explosion. That explosive was thrown from that car because I had just dumped some dirt there and there was nothing,” she said.

A police source said bomb experts from the Kenya Defence Forces and Anti-Terrorism Police Unit indicated that the device hit the 10-foot high wall and bounced off before exploding.

The officer said they suspect the target of the explosion was the residential houses inside St Michaels Catholic Church in Mandera Town.
