Zimbabwean opposition leader Mr Morgan Tsvangirai was arrested early today after police found a two-way radio during a search of his Harare home, an opposition spokesman said.
Mr Tsvangirai was arrested around 4.30 a.m. (2.30 Irish time) this morning in connection with a walkie-talkie radio found with his security guards when police searched his house, a spokesman for the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC), told reporters.
The MDC poses the stiffest challenge to President Mr Robert Mugabe's bid for re-election in a presidential poll set for next March. Mr Mugabe accused the MDC yesterday of terrorising his supporters ahead of the elections.
