Mugabe threatens to throw out US Ambassador

HARARE – In the run-up to Zimbabwe's run-off elections President Robert Mugabe warned he will expel US Ambassador to Zimbabwe James McGee if he "persisted in meddling in Zimbabwe's electoral process."

The US diplomat had led a group of Ambassadors to the north of the country to investigate reports of politically-inspired violence.
