Tanzanian authorities have arrested six people, including
four from Saudi Arabia, in connection with an attack that
killed two people and injured 30�others during a mass at
a church, officials say.

Jakaya Kikwete, the Tanzanian president, called Sunday's
blast, which happened in the northern town of Arusha, an
"act of terrorism".

"This is an act of terrorism perpetrated by a cruel
person or group who are enemies of the country," Kikwete
said in a statement on Monday.

The attack on the church is one of the first such
incidents to hit Tanzania.

Officials gave no indication as to who might have carried
out the attack, but tensions have been high between
Tanzania's Christian and Muslim communities in recent
months.

Magesa Mulongo, Arusha's commissioner,�confirmed six
people had been arrested, two from Tanzania and four from
Saudi Arabia.
