According to Press TV, deputy police chief of the Central African nation, General Godefroid Bizimana said: “On Friday, two grenades exploded in the city center. … They killed three people and injured several others, probably more than a dozen.”
The victims’ bodies were reportedly lying in the pools of blood on the pavement following the raid.
Bizimana stated “Those who did this had the intention to kill; because the grenades were thrown among women selling fruits in a big crowd,” adding “Unfortunately we did not arrest the perpetrators of this attack.”
The grenade attacks were the latest in a series of violent incidents in the country, which has witnessed weeks-long protests against President Pierre Nkurunziza’s bid for a third term in power. More than 20 people have died in clashes with security forces, which began in late April.
