One Killed, 11 Wounded in Zimbabwe Voting
Clashes between supporters of Zimbabwe's ruling party and the opposition killed one person and wounded at least 11 during the second day of polling in a parliamentary by-election on Sunday. Witnesses said gunfire was heard during voting early Sunday in the town of Chitungwiza, 20 miles south of Harare. A hospital official said one person died from gunshot wounds. Other injuries were caused by iron bars, clubs and stones. Welshman Ncube, secretary general of the opposition Movement for Democratic Change, identified the dead man as Francis Chinozvinya, an opposition supporter. Chinozvinya was shot in the chest as suspected ruling party supporters tried to raid the home of opposition candidate James Makore, Ncube said. A second opposition supporter was shot in the leg.Posted by: Fred 2004-03-29 |
