Coup Briton guilty

Simon Mann, the Briton accused of trying to start a coup in the African state of Equatorial Guinea, has been found guilty of arms charges by a Zimbabwe court.

Mann is believed to have connections to Sir Mark Thatcher, who has been arrested for allegedly taking part in the coup attempt.......

Mann was found guilty of attempting to possess dangerous weapons while prosecutors dropped charges against two and could not say the fate of one other.
