Kenya Citizen TV Captures Blasts at Crowded Rally in Nairobi
Fatal blasts in a crowded rally June 13 in downtown Nairobi, Kenya, begin the video by Kenya Citizen TV. The thousands who attended the gathering were opposing a new constitution that will be put to a referendum in August, according to The New York Times.

Last night's incident is reminiscent of the politically-motivated violence of 2008, says the report.
