Four people killed when a car bomb exploded outside a police station in a poor neighborhood of Nairobi, Kenya on Wednesday (April 23). Among the four killed, at least two were police officers.

Reuters reports, "Police officers had earlier stopped the saloon car at traffic lights and were taking the occupants for questioning when the bomb exploded, the ministry said.

"'At least 4 people dead after a saloon exploded at Pangani police station. Two of them are police officers,' the ministry said.

"It is common for Kenyan police to demand a ride back to police stations in vehicles they have stopped. But some Kenyan and African Twitter expressed consternation that they should get into a suspicious car at a time of heightened insecurity.

"'Crazy & unfortunate that #Kenya police officers would board a 'suspicious' car. Not good protocol,' one Twitter user wrote.

"It was not immediately clear who was behind the attack.

"Pangani is located next to Nairobi's Eastleigh district, an area populated by Somalis and targeted in past bomb and grenade attacks.

"A second controlled detonation was carried out by bomb disposal officers shortly after the initial blast, a Reuters witness said."
