2 Killed in U.S. Embassy Car in Kenya

NAIROBI, Kenya -- Gunmen carjacked a U.S. Embassy vehicle on the outskirts of the Kenyan capital Saturday, killing two women in the car, police said.

Francis Munyambu, Nairobi's deputy provisional police officer, said the men were armed with Kalashnikov assault rifles and had carjacked another vehicle recently.

"They escaped with the American embassy vehicle, which has not been recovered," he said.

Officials at the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi did not immediately answer calls for comment.

The shooting happened in Kinoo, about 12 miles outside Nairobi.
