Gus > What if the real target was bogeyman Robert Mugabe? Unfortunately, no. The press is insistent that the target was Equatorial Guinea -- and everyone, including the SAn and Zimbabwean governments knew in advance. It's my own suspicion that the mercenaries were going to do a job for the SAn government and it was found out or called off. The EG plot is a cleverly constructed alibi. Don't forget that Mann's company, Executive Outcomes, was responsible for the assassination of Jonas Savimbi, who led Unita, and was a bone in the throat for all the black, socialist "liberation" movements as well as de Beers diamonds and US oil interests. wnd.com Many observers erroneously believe that because Mann & Co are white that they have to be working for whites. This is a big mistake. Political intrigue in Africa goes far deeper than that. Anyway, back to Mr Mann: mg.co.za >>A Zimbabwean court on Friday ruled that Briton Simon Mann was guilty of attempting to buy arms for an alleged coup plot in oil-rich Equatorial Guinea but absolved 66 other suspected mercenaries. Magistrate Mishrod Guvamombe said: "The action by the accused [Mann] amounts at the most to attempting to purchase firearms. The accused is found guilty ..." Guvamombe acquitted 66 other suspected soldiers of fortune detained in Harare's high security Chikurubi Prison although they still face sentencing on other minor charges. "The state failed to discharge its onus by proving the accused persons guilty beyond reasonable doubt," Guvamombe said of the 66 men who were on board a plane that was impounded in Harare in March when it stopped off to pick up weapons.<< Apropos Mugabe: iol.co.za >>Zimbabwe's controversial President Robert Mugabe was voted the third-greatest African of all time, topped only by South Africa's Nelson Mandela and former Ghanaian president Kwame Nkrumah, in a survey for New African magazine announced Wednesday.<< I'm surprised they didn't vote him number one.
