The Kenyan police are holding three suspects for interrogation in connection with Sunday's multiple explosions in central Nairobi that has left at least seven people dead and more than 100 injured.
Sources within the police force confirmed on Thursday that the authorities were interviewing three persons said to have received Short Messaging Service (SMSs) which investigators thought were
suspicious.
The SMSs reportedly congratulated the recipients apparently for taking part in some event, possibly the attack on the prayer meeting.
Reports say one of those said to have received the SMS and who police are questioning was picked up in
Kinoo area of Kiambu, about 25 km west of Nairobi and later led the officers to the others.
According to the Daily Nation, investigators are also poring over video clips of the prayer meeting,
minutes before the blast. "They want to reconstruct exactly what happened in an attempt to find the attackers. They hope to see who was at the scene of the first blast and if they could have moved
to the scene of the second," the daily reported.
The development came as the government said that the investigators were following several crucial
leads that could lead to the arrest of the perpetrators of Sunday's grenade attacks at a political rally.
