Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe has threatened that veterans of Zimbabwe's war for independence will take up arms if the opposition wins a presidential run-off on June 27.
Mugabe told a conference of his party's youth wing that veterans had approached him after the first round of elections on March 29, threatening to fight if opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai is allowed to win the presidency. Tsvangirai came in first in March elections, but did not win the absolute majority required to avoid a runoff.
