cnn: Harare radio station bombed
An independent Zimbabwean radio station has been bombed by unknown assailants. See also this January article on SW Radio Africa, which began broadcasting to Zimbabwe from London after Harare’s Capital FM was closed down by police.
Takura Zhangasha, of the Media Institute of Southern Africa, said two armed men confronted a guard on duty at the station shortly after midnight and told him to leave.They then hurled an explosive device into the one-storey building.
Faith Ndebele, head of the station, refused to speculate on who carried out the bombing, but said it was an attack on free speech.
“For us this is an attack on free speech, and very sad for those who relied on our broadcasts for alternative views and opinions,” she told reporters.
