MDC: Mugabe 'Crackdown' Begins (SKY Breaking News Alert)


SKYNEWS: The general secretary of Zimbabwe's main opposition party has been arrested as part of a government "crackdown", Sky can reveal.

Tendai Biti is one of three people being held after a raid on Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) offices.

Two foreign journalists covering Robert Mugabe's bid to extend his 28-year rule in the presidential elections have also been detained by police for allegedly working without permits.

Before being arrested, Mr Biti blamed police or agents of the feared Central Intelligence Organisation for ransacking party offices in Harare.

He said: "Mugabe has started a crackdown. It is quite clear he has unleashed a war."

NVDL: This blog has predicted a war unravelling subsequent to the election.
