Explosive attack on Kenya church kills 1 child

(October 01, 2012) An explosive device set off in a Sunday school class in an Anglican church in Kenya has killed a child and seriously wounded three. Moses Ombati, the acting police chief in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi, said he suspects sympathizers with the Somali militant group al-Shabab were behind the attack at St Polycarp's church in Nairobi. Kenya has seen a series of attacks on churches ever since Kenyan forces moved into Somalia to fight al-Shabab last year. Kenyan forces flushed out the rebels out of their last stronghold, Kismayo, on Friday.
