Zimbabwe: Alleged mercenaries may be extradicted

Zimbabwe's government said it had revised its extradition policy to extradite 70 suspected mercenaries accused of plotting a coup in the oil-rich west African nation of Equatorial Guinea. An official notice said Zimbabwe drafted an extradition treaty for the first time with Equatorial Guinea, effective immediately. The notice meant the 70 suspects could be sent to Equatorial Guinea for trial on allegations of plotting to overthrow that country's government.
