Kenya's Nairobi Hit by Twin Blasts in Gikomba Market

At 

least 13 people are feared to have died during two bomb attacks in the Kenyan capital of Nairobi. The blasts, which are said to have taken place near Gikomba Market, come the week hundreds of Western tourists have been evacuated from the country due to increasing terror threats.The first explosion came from a 14-seater tour bus left the near the area, and the second came from within the market. Reports suggest that two suspects have been arrested as a result of the attack, which took place just four miles away from the Westgate Mall, where 67 people were killed by gunmen last September. The Kenyan National Disaster Operation Centre said the first explosion occurred in a minibus, the second in the large open-air Gikomba market. Police officials told the Reuters news agency they suspected the blast had been caused by an improvised explosive device.

One question on everybody's mind now is, why security wasn't raised when British and American foreign offices issued a red alert and started evacuating their citizens.
