Zimbabwe say MDC victory claims a "provocation"

HARARE, April 4 (Reuters) - Zimbabwe's liberation war veterans, key backers of President Robert Mugabe, said on Friday claims of election victory by the opposition MDC were a "provocation against freedom fighters."

War veterans leader Jabulani Sibanda told a press conference the veterans would repel any attempt by white farmers to repossess farms seized by Mugabe.

"It looks like these elections were a way to open for the re-invasion of this country (by the British)," he told a press conference.
