HARARE, Zimbabwe - Zimbabwe's main opposition party said yesterday that it feared its parliamentary election victory was being stolen, while former UN chief Kofi Annan urged African leaders to step in and resolve the country's election crisis.
Zimbabweans are still awaiting results of the presidential election held three weeks ago alongside parliamentary voting. Opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai says he won outright and that the delay in reporting results is part of a fraud plot.
Now the opposition's landmark victory in the parliamentary vote is being called into question. Electoral officials yesterday began recounting ballots for nearly two dozen legislative seats, which could overturn the Zimbabwean opposition's landmark majority win in the parliamentary poll.
Most of the seats being recounted had been declared for opposition candidates, including in President Robert Mugabe's home district of Zvimba.

Oh, yeah, we Americans had that happen in New Hampshire!!!!
The opposition also reported that four more supporters died in attacks they attributed to Mugabe loyalists, bringing the number of reported deaths of activists to 10.
"Rural areas have been made no go areas and defenseless people have been forced to flee their homes and are sleeping in the mountains but the police are not taking any action despite the international community being fully aware of what is happening," the party said in a statement.
Must be quiet because Israel wants them to be.
New York-based Human Rights Watch charged yesterday that "torture and violence are surging in Zimbabwe," citing victims and eyewitnesses. It said the ruling party was setting up "torture camps to systematically target, beat, and torture people suspected of having voted for the MDC in last month's elections," referring to the Movement for Democratic Change....
