Nairobi grenade attack hours before Clinton arrives
Description
At least one person is killed and nine wounded after a suicide bomber detonates a grenade near a military base in Nairobi Friday.
The blast occurred in a Somali-dominated area.
Nairobi has blamed Somalia's al Qaeda-linked al Shabaab, which has threatened to retaliate after Kenya pursued the Islamists in Somalia in October.
One eyewitness says the police were powerless:
(SOUNDBITE)(English) UNNAMED EYEWITNESS, SAYING:
"So to make it worse, our police officers did nothing to stop the car from speeding past them."
The attack comes just hours ahead of a visit to Kenya by U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Clinton's trip is expected to partly focus on U.S. security ties in the face of growing threats from Islamist militants.
