Just got off the phone with a good friend of mine in Kigali. No one seems to know much at all about what happened. Her family is ok, but no one really seems to know what is going on at present. If I hear more, I'll let the forum know.

this is what AP posted

Eyewitnesses say a grenade blast has killed at least two people in a suburb of Rwanda's capital.

The blast went off during Friday evening rush hour near a busy taxi park located about a mile (2 kilometers) from Kigali International Airport. The area is heavily patrolled by the army and police.

Police quickly cordoned off the area as the wounded were brought to hospitals.

Rwandan Police Spokesman Superintendent Theos Badege confirmed the incident and said that police were pursuing the assailants.

Last year, Kigali was shaken by a series of grenade attacks including in the wake of the August presidential election.
