Zimbabwe opposition says ZANU-PF youth on rampage

HARARE (Reuters) - Youth members of Zimbabwe's ruling ZANU-PF party attacked citizens in Harare on Sunday after the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) announced it had pulled out of the June 27 presidential run-off.

"More than 2000 youth militia are currently on the rampage in Mbare, central Harare, carrying out random attacks on innocent citizens," the MDC said in a statement. "Casualty departments in Harare are already receiving injuries from these attacks."

The party reiterated its calls for urgent intervention by the regional and African groups.
