09.03.2006
Zimbabwean authorities have warned that more arrests will follow as it unravels an alleged plot by opposition members to overthrow the government following the discovery of an arms cache in the east of the country. Minister of Security Didymus Mutasa confirmed on Tuesday that security forces had arrested Peter Hitschmann, a former member of the pre-independence Rhodesian army, after police found weapons and communication equipment at his home last week in Mutare, 260 km east of the capital, Harare.
