Imran Muhammad and Chaudry Parvez Ahmed, initially suspected to be Pakistani terrorists, were arrested at Beitbridge Border Post en route to neighbouring South Africa. Muhammad was said to be under an international arrest warrant. But chief police spokesman Wayne Bvudzijena denied the duo were terrorists as earlier reported. People rushed to conclude that they were terrorists,” Bvudzijena told the media this week.
The police spokesman however said the foreigners would remain in police custody while further investigations continued. The two allegedly flew from Saudi Arabia to Tanzania where they fraudulently acquired Kenyan passports before travelling to Zimbabwe
by road. South Africa is hosting the World Cup and experts had said that terrorism could not be ruled out because of the huge attention that even a small attack would get during the June 11-July 11 tournament.
