ROBERT MUGABE COULD FACE COUP AS TANKS ROLL INTO ZIMBABWE CAPITAL HARARE AFTER THREAT

-




FOUR tanks have been spotted heading towards the Zimbabwe capital Harare raising fears of a coup attempt in a country ruled by Robert Mugabe for 37 years.


It comes just a day after the head of the armed forces said he was prepared to "step in" to end a purge of supporters of ousted vice-president Emmerson Mnangagwa.A witness saw two other tanks parked beside the main road from Harare to Chinhoyi, about 14 miles from the city.
One, which was pointed in the direction of the capital, had come off its tracks. Soldiers at the scene refused to talk to a Reuters witness.
Earlier today the youth wing of Zimbabwe's ruling party accused the military chief of subverting the constitution for threatening to intervene after President Robert Mugabe plunged the country into crisis by sacking Mnangagwa last week.
Mnangagwa, 75, a long-serving veteran of Zimbabwe's 1970s liberation wars, had been viewed as a likely successor to Mugabe before the president fired him on November 6.


His downfall appeared to pave the way for Mugabe's wife Grace to succeed the 93-year-old president.
In an unprecedented step, the head of the armed forces, Constantino Chiwenga, openly threatened to intervene in politics yesterday if the purge of war veterans did not stop.
In a statement, he said: "We must remind those behind the current treacherous shenanigans that, when it comes to matters of protecting our revolution, the military will not hesitate to step in."


Grace Mugabe, 52, has developed a strong following in the powerful youth wing of the ruling ZANU-PF party.
Her rise has brought her into conflict with the independence-era war veterans, who once enjoyed a privileged role in the ruling party under Mugabe, but who have increasingly been banished from senior government and party roles in recent years

A notorious ISIS executioner dubbed 'White Beard' has been captured by Iraqi security forces, according to reports. Abu Omer, a jihadi kingpin who is known for his long white beard, has previously been caught on camera appearing to stone civilians to death under the militant group's rule in Mosul, Iraq. Locals confirmed his arrest to the AhlulBayt News Agency on January 1 after residents revealed his hiding place to the city. Omer was reportedly present when gay people were thrown from buildings and victims executed for offences like blasphemy. In March 2015, chilling images emerged of three men being forced to their knees and publicly beheaded by a sword-wielding jihadi. Photographs show an elderly man, purportedly Omer, using a microphone to read the blindfolded men's charges to the crowd before the executioner steps forward to deliver a deadly blow. And now Abu 'White Beard' Omer may now face execution himself.Even though the terrorist group
