SAS accused in plane seizure

ZIMBABWE yesterday accused Britain's SAS and the CIA of assisting alleged mercenaries who are under arrest and facing the death sentence in Harare.

The 64 men have been held since Sunday when their ageing jet transport plane landed in the Zimbabwean capital to refuel.

It was claimed that the men, who had flown from South Africa, were on their way to Equatorial Guinea where a coup is reported to have been foiled.
