EX CHILUBA CAMPAIGN MANAGER ASSASSINATED

THE former campaign manager of Zambian President Frederick Chiluba, who switched to the opposition in a bid to unseat his old boss, was murdered at his home on Friday in a crime the opposition blames on the state. Paul Tembo (41) was murdered execution-style in front of his horrified wife, his lawyers said. The killers stole nothing. Tembo was due to give evidence on Friday at a tribunal investigating corruption and abuse of office by three cabinet ministers, including Finance Minister Katele Kalumba. – Reuters
