Nine people including eight Yemeni nationals have been arrested in connection with last night's grenade attack in Eastleigh that left two people injured. Police say the suspects had rented a house next to the scene of the explosion, along Muratina Road a few meters away from a mosque that was targeted a week ago. The grenade was hurled into a guest house at around 9pm.
