Two car bomb suspects arrested in Kenya

───   07:53 Tue, 18 Mar 2014

Mombasa - Police in the Kenyan port city of Mombasa say they have arrested two people who were driving a car with two improvised bombs hidden inside it.
The suspects, one Kenyan and the other of Somali origin, were planning to attack an unspecified target. Police say the arrests followed a tip off.
 
Kenya is on a heightened state of alert after militants from Somalia's al-Shabab Islamist group attacked a shopping centre in Nairobi last year. Security was increased further following yesterday's incident.
 
Two homemade bombs were found in the car along with a mobile phone, which could have been used as a detonator.
 
In last September's attack, at least 67 people died when al-Shabab stormed the Westgate shopping centre.
