Mugabe can use this "plot" against him to declare martial law and/or seize the ballot boxes for a "recount".

Mugabe can use this "plot" against him to declare martial law and/or seize the ballot boxes for a "recount".

Mugabe set it up while at the same time preparing the punishment.

The opposition said the story was part of an ongoing government smear campaign intended to distract people from the important issues of joblessness, AIDS and food shortages.

The Zimbabwean government did not immediately comment on the accusation. Under security laws passed last month acts of "insurgency, banditry, sabotage or terrorism" carry a penalty of life imprisonment. Source
