Harare - Zimbabwe has charged 70 suspected mercenaries with conspiring to murder the president of Equatorial Guinea in what it said was a plot to topple the government of the oil-rich African state, their lawyer said on Wednesday.
"They were charged yesterday with attempting to murder the president of Equatorial Guinea and his bodyguards. There is also some indication that they could be charged under the Public Order and Security Act (POSA)," lawyer Jonathan Samkange said.
"This is really a fictional charge. I would not want to speculate at this point what the penalty would be," he added, saying it was unclear when his clients would appear in court.
