ZANU-PF targets the MDC after the unsolved murder of a war veteran

A cartoon in the state-owned daily Herald on 19 November showed the opposition leader, Morgan Tsvangirai, glad-handing his backers - the independent press, the European Union, Britain and Denmark. The previous day, President Robert Mugabe had accused the British government of involvement in a terrorist plot whose 'brutal outcome' was the murder of a war veteran, Cain Nkala, whose body was found in a shallow grave near Bulawayo on 13 November.
