The explosions came two days after the U.S. Embassy in Kenya warned it had credible information regarding an imminent terror attack. The embassy offered no details on who might carry out such an attack, but it said it had limited U.S. government visits and urged citizens to consider deferring travel to Kenya.
The attack was likely to target places where foreigners congregate, the embassy said.
Kenya has been on edge since it sent troops across the border into Somalia to pursue militants with Al-Shabaab, an Islamist group that the United States and other countries consider a terrorist organization. Kenya sent troops into Somalia after the recent abductions of tourists and aid workers in Kenya. It blames the abductions on Al-Shabaab, which has denied involvement.
Al-Shabaab has threatened to attack Kenya if it does not withdraw its forces from Somalia.
