Garissa, Kenya: Garissa police have arrested two men and recovered an AK-47 rifle and 27 bullets.
This came less than 48 hours after suspected Al-Shabaab militants lobbed grenades into a crowded restaurant in the town.
Ten people were injured during the incident and police found two others grenades hidden in separate parts of Garissa town.
One of the people injured in the Tuesday evening attack was transferred to Kenyatta National Hospital in Nairobi for specialised treatment.
Sources indicate that police are trying to establish if the two suspects, who had Kenyan identification cards, were linked to Tuesday’s events.
