Zimbabwe activist charged in government plot


    HARARE (Reuters) - Prosecutors on Wednesday charged former Zimbabwean newscaster Jestina Mukoko and nine other opposition activists with plotting to overthrow President Robert Mugabe's government.

    Mukoko, the most prominent activist, head of the Zimbabwe Peace Project, was taken away at gunpoint in Harare on December 3 by unidentified men. If found guilty the activists could face the death penalty, lawyers said.
