Four people, including a child, were killed in grenade attacks in Burundi's capital Bujumbura, which has been wracked by political violence, an official and witnesses said Sunday. The four were killed by an attack late Saturday in a bar in the working class Kinama neighbourhood, said Bujumbura Mayor Freddy Mbonimpa.
Among the victims was a young boy selling eggs. Ten others were wounded, according to a hospital source. In another attack Saturday "armed criminals" threw a grenade at a police patrol, injuring eight civilians, Mbonimpa said.
