Zimbabwe State Security Minister Didymus Mutasa has warned opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai and his supporters that the government will crush any mass protests against President Robert Mugabe. "We are watching them closely. We heard his [Tsvangirai's] threats and we hope they will just end as threats, but if they start destroying things then they will see us," Mutasa told independent news service ZimOnline, adding that if Tsvangirai and the MDC want war with the government, then it is more than ready for them, reports the Mail and Guardian.
