Pro-Mugabe parishioners attack rivals

Police were called to churches around the Zimbabwean capital Harare last weekend to halt skirmishes between supporters of a bishop who is a close ally of President Robert Mugabe and followers of a rival cleric. Tensions rose after followers of Anglican Bishop Nolbert Kunonga insisted on holding services even though authorities have decreed Kunonga is no longer a member of the church.
