Zimbobwe's Mugabe threatens to expel US ambassador
Zimbobwe's President Robert Mugabe is threatening to expel the U.S. ambassador, criticizing him for advice he has given Mugabe's opponent in a presidential runoff. Mugabe says Ambassador James McGee publicly urged opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai to return to Zimbabwe to lead his embattled supporters. Tsvangirai returned Saturday after more than six weeks abroad. Mugabe says that if McGee continues offering advice to Tsvangirai, he will kick McGee out of the country. Mugabe, speaking Sunday at the formal launch of his election campaign, also ridiculed claims the opposition leader was the target of a military assassination plot.
