The Times – Bob’s Mad Scramble For Weapons

The Sunday Times has established that this week’s Chinese shipment of arms turned away from Durban harbour on Friday was just one of several botched attempts by the embattled Mugabe regime to buy arms this year.

One well-placed Zimbabwean defence industry official told the Sunday Times: “In the first three working days after the election, there were queues of people outside (arms procurement) offices — police, the presidential bodyguard unit, army, the CIO.

There’s lots of stuff happening today… it’s amazing, frankly, how many people all over the world are mobilizing to find out more information and try to stop this shipment.
