Air force chief shot at
The head of Zimbabwe's air force, a close ally of President Robert Mugabe, was shot and wounded in an assassination attempt at the weekend, state media said yesterday.
The shooting of Air Marshal Perence Shiri on Saturday appeared to be part of attacks against high profile figures designed to destabilize the country, Minister of Home Affairs Kembo Mohadi was quoted in the Herald newspaper as saying.
