ASSOCIATED PRESS PHOTOGRAPHER OBED ZILWA WITH HIS WIFE LEANORA DE SAUSA-ZILWA, 2000-05-02 (photo)

Obed Zilwa, a South African photographer for the U.S. news agency Associated Press, stands with his wife Leanora de Sausa-Zilwa outside the magistrate court in Harare, May 2. Zilwa was arrested on April 26 in connection with the bombing of a pro-opposition newspaper. The Cape Town based photographer was arrested at Harare airport shortly before he was due to fly back home. The bombing occured just around the corner from a hotel where most of the international media covering Zimbabwe's land crisis are staying. Foreign media were on the scene within minutes of the blast and more than half an hour before police arrived, prompting government accusations that journalists themselves had planted the device.
