Tsvangirai’s skull cracked

Zimbabwe opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai was in intensive care with a broken skull last night following what he says was a brutal police attack while in custody, his spokesman said.

“He has just had a brain scan because his skull is cracked,” spokesman William Bango told reporters from Tsvangirai’s Harare hospital, adding that the opposition leader had also needed blood transfusions.
