Holy Shizzle...

The New York Times (and so far no one else that I can find, at least not yet) is reporting that paramilitary police in riot gear have surrounded a hotel housing foreign journalists in Harare, Zimbabwe.

"A man answering the phone at the hotel says they are taking away some reporters.

The man refused to give his name but said about 30 police entered the hotel Thursday and were preparing to take away four or five journalists."

That's a pretty bold move for Mugabe--he has a tight grip on state media sources, but arresting foreign journalists is a new thing, as far as I know. Let's just hope this isn't the beginning of something larger and more ominous.
