Rights group: Zimbabwe's army unleashing 'terror'

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (AP) -- A leading human rights group accused Zimbabwe's army Wednesday of working with ruling party militants to unleash "terror and violence" against dissent.
New York-based Human Rights Watch joined other rights groups and Zimbabwe's opposition party in linking violence since last month's presidential vote to the security forces and so-called "war veterans" - groups loyal to autocratic President Robert Mugabe.
Mugabe's regime has countered that the opposition groups are responsible for the violence, even arresting scores of people last week, including women and their nursing babies, who the opposition says had taken shelter from the violence at its headquarters in Harare, Zimbabwe's capital.
