Zimbabwe Military Arrests Boy-Scout Trainers
Zimbabwean air force, military, police and intelligence officials raided a boy-scout camp and arrested three white farmers on charges of training insurgents, the Zimbabwe Independent said, citing people it didn't identify.
The adventure camp, known as Kudu Creek, was suspected of being used as a base to train bandits who plan to topple President Robert Mugabe, the Harare-based newspaper reported. The site provides outdoor activities and leadership training for schoolchildren, it said.
The raid was described by one observer as a full-scale military exercise, the Independent said.
Police spokesman Wayne Bvudzijena didn't answer calls to his office and mobile phones today when Bloomberg News tried to contact him for comment.
