Harare - Armed police made an overnight search of the home of Zimbabwe's main opposition leader, Mr Morgan Tsvangirai, and arrested three of his security guards, a party spokesman said yesterday. Three truckloads of armed police, led by five investigative officers, arrived at Mr Tsvangirai's home around midnight and searched it for about 90 minutes, said Mr Learnmore Jongwe, spokesman for the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC).
"The search lasted for at least one and half hours as the police details went through every detail in each room. They left around 1.30 a.m. after they had failed to find anything," Mr Jongwe said.
The search warrant said the police were looking for Mr Zwelithini Msimanga in connection with an unspecified kidnapping and murder case, Mr Jongwe said.
