A suspected grenade blast at a Nairobi pub has wounded 13 people, police said.

A suspected grenade blast at a Nairobi pub has wounded 13 people, police said.

The attack came two days after the United States warned of an imminent threat of a terror attack in the Kenyan capital.

Last week Somalia’s most dangerous militant group, al Shabab, warned of reprisal attacks inside Kenya for a Kenyan military incursion into Somalia.

A police official said 13 people were wounded but no one was killed. Chairs and tables at the pub were overturned after the explosion but there was no major damage.
