| Grenade Blast Kills One in Rwanda's Kigali ahead of Polls |
| 2013-09-15 |
| [An Nahar] A grenade attack at a Kigali market claimed a second victim Saturday as Rwanda prepared for legislative polls predicted to bolster the ruling party of President Paul Kagame. Two grenades were used in an attack at a market on Friday that had killed one person and left 14 maimed. One of the devices had failed to explode and remained undetected. "One was caught in the roof of the market but people didn't identify it," police front man Damas Gatare said. "That second grenade is the one that (went) off a few hours ago... It is the same attack." The second kaboom killed one more person and maimed another eight. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack, which was similar to blasts that rocked the capital earlier this year as well as before the latest presidential election in 2010. |
