Refugees Attacked by Armed Men Outside Zimbabwe Capital

Armed men in Zimbabwe have attacked a group of internally displaced people outside the capital, Harare.

The attack took place at a camp on Zimbabwe government property near the town of Ruwa, about 15 kilometers from Harare. About 400 opposition supporters were moved there after seeking refuge at the South African embassy.

Officials from the opposition Movement for Democratic Change say the injured are in the Gokwe hospital but there is no medicine to treat them.

Violence against opposition officials and supporters has dramatically increased in the past few days.
