(Reuters) - An explosion at a bus station in downtown Nairobi killed at least three people and wounded 40 on Saturday evening, with eight still in critical condition, the Kenya Red Cross said.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility, but the Kenyan capital was hit by grenade attacks in October after Kenya sent troops into neighboring Somalia to fight al Shabaab, the militant group linked to al Qaeda. Police quickly blamed the Somali rebels.
After the attack a fire blazed in a small crater at the Machakos bus station and police cordoned off the area where the corpse of a man dressed in a blue jacket and white trousers lay on his back. Bystanders helped carry the wounded to ambulances.
"We have lost three: two male adults and one female," Francis Okonya, principal deputy police commissioner, said outside the Kenyatta National Hospital.

This is personal for me, as my daughter lives there. Still waiting to here from her.

She's smart and knows what she's doing, but I hope you hear from her soon. 
I am concerned that the embassy may send her out of the country, though. We will see what happens.
Hope you are well. I follow you on DU2!!
But I can understand your worries. I certainly hope that things calm down and that the embassy doesn't have to take action. But I'm sure her safety is always on your mind, nonetheless. At least Kenyatta's not around for her to take his picture, LOL. 
Hang in there, my friend, and I'll be thinking about her, too...
I haven't been on DU.2 much this week, since I re-upped as a "host" here, but I do need to check in. I miss everybody.
