Zimbabwe envoy on mat after paper's 'death threat'

Zimbabwe's ambassador to London was summoned to the foreign office today after a newspaper in Harare issued what appeared to be a death threat against British diplomat Gillian Dare. She was accused by the state-run Herald newspaper of "blatant interference" in Zimbabwean politics by visiting injured members of the opposition in hospital. A columnist wrote: "It will be a pity for her family to welcome her at Heathrow airport in a body bag." (Via News24)
