Political Leader Scanned for Skull Fracture, Brain Injury
The main opposition leader of Zimbabwe, Morgan Tsvangirai, apparently suffered a skull fracture, brain injury, and internal bleeding after beatings while in police custody. Tsavangirai told the British Broadcasting Corporation in an interview that police hit him on the head and that he always was hit on the knees and back, and that his arm was broken during the beating. "I think the intent was to inflict as much harm as they could," Tsavangirai said.
