Car Bombs Arrive In Kenya

A businessman in Karen goes into a local to have a drink one evening. He comes back to his parked car a few hours later and gets in to drive himself home. But before he can start the car, there is a loud bang. The front wheel flies off and the car is extensively damaged.

Miraculously, the man escapes unscathed (was it the sturdy body of the old Mercedes Benz car that saved his life or was the bomb planted by an amateur who didn't do his calculations right?) but the blast is heard for miles around and flying debris causes damage to windows in the vicinity.

The businessman, Simon Ngatunyi says that he has a petty god idea as to who may want him dead. It emerges that there is a serious dispute over land that he owns and some of the people on his list of suspects are politicians who have been inciting traders in the area to rebuild demolished kiosks on his land.

But the really scary thing is that the nasty car bomb seems to have arrived in Kenya. So which is worse, getting gunned down, execution style or having your car planted with a bomb?
