(AP) Gunmen carjacked a U.S. Embassy vehicle on the outskirts of the Kenyan capital Saturday and killed two women in the car, police said.

"The thugs ordered the two women out but they hesitated," said Isaiah Osugo, a criminal investigations officer in Nairobi. "Then they were shot."

Francis Munyambu, Nairobi's deputy provisional police officer, said the carjackers escaped with the embassy vehicle and were armed with Kalashnikov assault rifles. The men had carjacked another vehicle earlier in the day, he said.

The shooting happened just off a highway in Kinoo, about 12 miles outside Nairobi. An Associated Press reporter at the scene saw two pools of blood on the roadside.

Kenya's government spokesman, Alfred Mutua, said officials believe Saturday's violence was "a random attack." He had no further details.

1. Damn. Thugs killing women for their car. What has this world come to.

Next thing you know, sovereign countries will be invaded, proxy governments will be installed to run them, and their natural resources will be quietly plundered at the end of a gun.

2. There is a price to be paid

This is part of that price.
