Foul Play in Zimbabwe?

CNN: Car-truck crash kills Zimbabwe prime minister’s wife, injures him

Zimbabwe Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai was in stable condition and recovering from head injuries Friday night after a car wreck that killed his wife, Susan, medical sources told CNN.

The crash, on a busy two-lane highway between Tsvangirai’s hometown of Buhera and the capital city of Harare, comes just weeks after the start of a power-sharing agreement between Tsvangirai and his political rival, President Robert Mugabe.

Analysts say the crash is bound to raise suspicion of foul play, with one former U.S. diplomat calling for an outside investigation, saying it is not the first time that a political foe of Mugabe has been killed or injured in a car crash.

    Great minds this alike (well one great mind plus mine).

    The first thing I thought when I heard about the 'accident' was how interesting it was that a major rival to the dictator Mugabe happened to be involved. I have since read that he (Tsvangiari) is going out of country for medical treatment.
