Grenade hits Nairobi club, 14 people wounded - report

The Standard newspaper reported the incident in a breaking news text message.

The incident comes a week after Kenya launched a cross-border operation against al Qaeda-linked al Shabaab militants in southern Somalia after a wave of kidnappings of foreigners on Kenyan soil.

Al Shabaab had threatened major reprisals if Kenyan troops did not withdraw, prompting the U.S. embassy in Kenya to warn of an 'imminent threat' of a terrorist attack in the East African country.
