HARARE, Sha'ban 23, 1435, Jun 21, 2014, SPA -- Zimbabwe on Saturday laid attempted terrorism, insurgency and banditry charges against the editor of a state-run newspaper, accusing him of being an anonymous Facebook blogger who claimed to be a mole in President Robert Mugabe's ruling party, according to Reuters. In charges read in court by a state prosecutor, Sunday Mail editor Edmund Kudzayi was accused of being the mysterious "Baba Jukwa" blogger purporting to be a disgruntled "Deep Throat" in the ZANU-PF party ahead of last year's elections. Kudzayi, who was only appointed to his position in April, was arrested on Thursday, a week after Mugabe accused his information minister Jonathan Moyo of hiring journalists sympathetic to the opposition. -- SPA 19:10 LOCAL TIME 16:10 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
