More details on this story from yesterday.
[BBC] Three men have been arrested at a shopping center in Nairobi with a suspected explosive device, which has since been detonated in a controlled explosion. A witness said one of the men refused to be searched by security guards and was overpowered in the ensuing scuffle.

Police spokesman George Kinoti said that the three men in custody were all Kenyans and the explosives were discovered in one of their bags. He said, "The situation is under [the] absolute control of our security agencies and the entire country is under multi-agency surveillance."

Reports say it is believed to have been a small explosive device with a battery and a mobile phone attached.
