Nairobi airport fire: FBI blames electrical fault
The fire that swept through Kenya's main international airport in August was caused by an electrical fault, not a terrorist attack, US investigators have confirmed.
Kenya asked the FBI to help with the investigation to allay concerns that the airport may have been attacked.
The fire gutted the arrivals terminal at Nairobi's Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.
It forced the closure of the airport, leaving many passengers stranded.
