▲'Mercenaries' face Zimbabwe charges
A group of men said to be mercenaries planning a coup in the African state of Equatorial Guinea are expected to face charges in a court in Zimbabwe within days.
Zimbabwe has threatened the 64 suspects with the death penalty since seizing them at Harare airport on Sunday.
The company which chartered their plane said they had stopped in Harare en route to Burundi and DR Congo where they were due to provide security services for an internationally run mine.
But Zimbabwe and South Africa both support the government of Equatorial Guinea and say the men were part of a plot to overthrow the president, Teodoro Obiang Nguema.
Harare has accused the men of working for US, British and Spanish intelligence agencies.
"[They] are going to face the severest punishment available in our statutes, including capital punishment," said Foreign Minister Stan Mudenge without detailing the charges against them.
The BBC's Alastair Leithead in South Africa describes the British and American links as spurious but adds there is growing evidence that the mystery does relate to a coup attempt gone wrong.
History of coups
The 64 men - said to be Angolans, South Africans and Namibians - were detained after their plane was impounded on Sunday evening at Harare International Airport.
Equatorial Guinea arrested a separate group of 15 suspected mercenaries, said to be involved in the same alleged plot.
The oil-rich state's president said South Africa had warned him that a group of mercenaries was heading for his country and he suggested that they had had foreign backing of hostile foreign powers and multinational firms.
A man said to be the leader of the "mercenaries" has appeared on Equatorial Guinea state television to say that they had been part of a plot to remove Mr Obiang and put an exiled opposition leader in power.
"It wasn't a question of taking the life of the head of state but of spiriting him away, taking him to Spain and forcing him into exile and then of immediately installing the government-in-exile of Severo Moto Nsa," said the alleged coup leader, introduced as Nick du Toit, according to a transcript released by AFP news agency.
In Spain, Mr Moto, who led a failed coup bid in Equatorial Guinea in 1997, denied any role in the alleged plot but also launched a blistering attack on President Obiang, who himself took power in a coup in 1979.
In Equatorial Guinea, a man said to be related to the group has publicly confessed to a coup plot on television.
Other reports say the suspects were security guards bound for other states who had stopped for mining supplies.
