[Daily Nation (Kenya)] Police have questioned and released more than 100 people in connection with the twin blasts in Mtwapa and Mombasa that killed two people and injured 30 others a fortnight ago.Coast provincial police boss Aggrey Adoli said more suspects are being sought in different parts of the country.
"We have extended our operation beyond these two towns. We have interrogated many people and we are looking for more as we receive more information," Mr Adoli said in an interview yesterday. However,

Sherlocks do not have enough evidence to charge any of the suspects.
The police chief said investigations will continue until those responsible for the attacks are found and charged in court.
He, however, declined to reveal the nationalities of the foreigners who are among those questioned.
Mr Adoli's comments came in the wake of expectations that some of the suspects would be taken to court.
Journalists kept vigil at the law courts for the better part of the day on Tuesday before leaving after police said no appearances in court were planned.

But Mr Adoli dismissed the reports as untrue, saying, police are yet to identify the attackers.
The police position differs from Internal Security Minister George Saitoti's statements last week that several people have been incarcerated in connection with the kabooms.
"Investigations are ongoing. Unfortunately there are foreigners and some (suspects) are Kenyans who have been working with them.
"As Kenyans we should remain on the lookout for such people," Prof Saitoti told journalists in Nairobi a week ago.
He said more details would be released once investigations were complete.
"We shall give information once we arrest the others we are looking for," the minister said.
A police report issued hours after the two kabooms indicated that a home-made bomb was used in the View Stadium Bar and Restaurant attack, while a grenade exploded at the Christian prayer rally in the Mtwapa incident.
But unlike in the past when police moved in fast and charged the suspects in court after similar attacks, this has been different. Officers remained tight-lipped about the progress of investigations and have mostly denied making any arrests.
Prof Saitoti was the first to reveal that a number of people had been incarcerated in connection with the kabooms.
