Violence on White Farms Continues

Mobs assaulted and threatened black workers on white-owned farms and set fire to a tobacco operation, a farmers group said, a continuation of the political violence that has plagued Zimbabwe in recent months. An unspecified number of workers were being treated at a hospital in the provincial center of Marondera, 45 miles southeast of Harare, the capital, according to the Commercial Farmers Union. The extent of their injuries was unclear. It was not known what had happened to a worker abducted Sunday evening by the squatters, the group said.
