President Daniel arap Moi today unveiled a plaque at UNEP headquarters in memory of those who lost their lives in last year’s Nairobi bomb blast. “The garden will remind us of the senseless destruction of life ... and serve as a symbol for us to call for peace in the world,” Moi said. He gave a national award of the Silver Star of Kenya posthumously to Roselyn Mwangi, and Sammy Ng’ang’a, a survivor of the blast. Meanwhile, in Kenya’s port town of Mombasa, FBI agents arrested a person in connection with the 7 August bombing. The suspect - the fifth to be arrested so far - will be tried in New York.
