Zimbabwe court says military takeover was legal

A court in Zimbabwe has ruled that the military takeover which led to Robert Mugabe's dramatic ousting was legal, raising concerns on Saturday about the rule of law under the country's new administration. A minister in Mugabe's last government also appeared in court on corruption charges after he was handcuffed and blindfolded, allegedly by soldiers, for eight days before being handed to police. Triggering the end of Mugabe's reign, army chiefs put military vehicles on the streets of Harare on November 14 and placed the 93-year-old leader under house arrest before he eventually resigned on Tuesday.
