NAIROBI (Reuters) - Police are investigating an explosion at Nairobi international airport that panicked travellers but caused no injuries, a police spokesman said on Friday, a day after the incident.

Kenyan media suggested the blast on Thursday night was caused by an explosive device, but police have blamed the incident on a faulty bulb falling into a rubbish bin at a coffee shop near a departures area.
