Blast Near Military Base in Kenya Capital Wounds 8 A blast near a military base in Kenya's capital city has wounded eight people. Kenya Red Cross spokesman Javis Sunday says three of the eight are in critical condition after the blast Wednesday evening. A person injured in a blast is brought to a hospital in Nairobi, Kenya, Wednesday, Dec. 5, 2012. Javis Sunday, a spokesman for the Kenya Red Cross, said three of the eight were in critical condition after the Wednesday evening blast. The blast went off in a Somali neighborhood of Nairobi known as Little Mogadishu. Kenya has suffered a series of small-scale explosions over the last year, many from grenades. Kenyan troops moved into Somalia in late 2011, prompting al-Shabab militants in Somalia to vow revenge attacks inside Kenya. Al-Shabab sympathizers are suspected in many of the blast attacks, though authorities have not clearly linked all the attacks to al-Shabab or its sympathizers.
