Nairobi nightclub grenade attack injures 14
A grenade attack on a nightclub in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi, has left 14 people injured, say police.
The grenade was throw in the club early on Monday morning - the motive was not immediately clear.
The attack comes a week after Kenya sent troops into Somalia to track down members of the militant group al-Shabab, which Nairobi blames for a series of kidnappings in recent weeks.
Al-Shabab had threatened reprisal attacks if the troops did not leave.
The al-Qaeda-linked Islamist group, which controls much of southern and central Somalia, has denied carrying out any abductions.
Last week, Kenya announced it would carry out a major security operation in Nairobi to flush out al-Shabab sympathisers once its Somalia operation had ended.
The AFP news agency named the club as Mwauras.
"Initial investigations show it is a grenade that was thrown inside," said Nairobi police chief Eric Mugambi, AFP reports.
