Zimbabwe says MDC activists attacked army camp-paper

HARARE, April 29 (Reuters) - Zimbabwe's government said one man was killed and two others were injured when opposition supporters tried to attack an army training camp, a state newspaper said on Tuesday.

Quoting a government statement, the online version of the Herald said the incident had taken place in a rural district in eastern Zimbabwe, but it gave no details of when it happened or the identities of the casualties.

Police and officials of the opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) -- which says it won last month's general elections to end President Robert Mugabe's 28-year-old rule -- were not immediately available to comment on the report.

But the Herald said Mugabe's government had warned that "security forces would use necessary and appropriate force to ensure that life is respected and property protected" after a spate of political violence around the country.

"The latest incident in which MDC-Tsvangirai supporters sought to attack soldiers on training around Chiwetu Rest Camp in Rusape leading to the death of one person and injury of two others is a case in point," it quoted the government as saying.
