Zimbabwe opposition leader's convoy attacked

Zimbabwean opposition leader's convoy came under attack on Monday during a tour in the eastern city of Mutare, his Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) party says.

The party blames members of the ruling Zanu PF party for the Monday evening attack. It says they were armed with guns and knives.

But a body of Zanu PF has dismissed the incident as "childish antics".

The opposition party has termed the attack as an attempt on the life of its leader Nelson Chamisa.

It has tweeted a video and pictures of the incident:
