Mombasa blast deaths rise to 3, suspect arrested

(Reuters) - The death toll from Sunday's explosion in a Mombasa night club rose to three and Kenyan police said on Monday they had arrested a suspect, a man in his twenties who was injured in the blast and taken to hospital. A day before the blast the U.S. embassy warned of an imminent attack on Mombasa and urged all its staff to leave. It also said it had suspended travel to the city by embassy staff until July 1.

The suspect now under arrest was taken to hospital after suffering abdominal and leg injuries in the blast, but early on Monday police handcuffed him to his hospital bed and said they needed to question him further.

One man was killed immediately in Sunday's blast, and two of the eight people injured died later in hospital - a nine-year-old boy with shrapnel in his chest and thigh, and a man. A crowd had gathered at the night club, situated in a residential area, to watch the Euro 2012 football quarter-final between England and Italy.

On Wednesday Kenyan police arrested two Iranians after seizing chemicals they suspected were going to be used to make explosives in Mombasa.

Ahmad Mohammed and Sayed Mousavi were charged at the Nairobi High Court on Monday with being in possession of 15 kgs of explosives and preparing to commit a felony. They denied the charges and were detained until Wednesday, when the judge will rule on their bail application.

'Two Iranians'.

No: 'Two Iranian Muslims', or, 'Two Muslims, from Iran'.

The fact that they are from a region called 'Iran' is less important than that they are Muslims.

They could just as easily have been Muslims from Somalia, or from within the Muslim ummah in Kenya itself, or from Sudan, or from Saudi Arabia, or from Pakistan, or from the Mohammedan colonies now established in Europe, the Americas, Australia...
