Zimbabwean Home Affairs Minister Kembo Mohadi said today that US, British and Spanish spy agencies helped suspected mercenaries detained in Harare in a plot against Equatorial Guinea's government.
"They were aided by the British secret service, that is MI6, . . . American Central Intelligence Agency and the Spanish secret service," Mr Mohadi told a news conference, reading from a prepared statement.
He said the aim of the suspected mercenaries had been to overthrow the government of oil-producing Equatorial Guinea.
