Nine of the injured were in serious condition, said police spokesman Pierre Nkurikiye, adding that two people aboard a motorcycle blasted the grenade, which had been “hidden in a plastic bag,” and then ran away.
Meanwhile, Nkurikiye said two guns of the Kalashnikov type, five chargers filled with ammunitions and two bombs with their accessories were seized Thursday morning in a search at Mutakura in the north of the capital.
Since April 2015, with the outbreak of protest against the third-term bid of Burundian President Pierre Nkurunziza and his controversial re-election in July 2015, violence has left over 400 dead in the east African nation, according to civil society groups. Enditem
