1 dead in explosion on Kenya's coast

Police say attackers fired shots and detonated grenades outside a nightclub in Kenya's coastal town of Mombasa after they were denied entry, killing one person and injuring four. Aggrey Adoli, the police chief on Kenya's coast, said Wednesday a security guard died in the hospital while four people were receiving treatment for wounds from the Tuesday night attack. He says the assailants fired shots at security guards who had denied them entry into the club, before detonating the grenades. A pistol was recovered at the scene. Kenya has seen several hit-and-run grenade attacks in recent months in the capital, Nairobi, and in northern Kenya. They have been blamed on the Somali militant group al-Shabab.
