A GRENADE attack on a Kenyan church has left one policeman dead and 14 other people wounded in a town near the Somalia border, where similar deadly attacks took place in July, police say.
Kenya has seen a wave of grenade attacks on cities including the capital Nairobi and the key port of Mombasa since the country sent troops into Somalia in October last year to fight al-Qaeda-linked al-Shabab insurgents.
"We have one fatality," said regional police chief Philip Tuimur after a policeman died of his wounds in the attack on a church at a police camp in the town of Garissa, which lies about 140 kilometres from the Somali border.
Another police source said 14 other people were also wounded in the attack.
"We have mobilised our officers to track down the attackers," Tuimur added, without giving further details.
The grenade "ripped through the roof during prayer session", said a police officer.
The officer said the church was located inside a police camp and most of the wounded were police officers.
In July, at least 18 people were killed in attacks on two churches in the same town.
A child was also killed in a suspected grenade attack on a church in Nairobi in September, triggering reprisal attacks against the Somali community.
