<vote /> A soldier, Admire Mangeya, was arrested after he attempted to blow up a shopping complex in Queenspark West suburb, Bulawayo using dangerous explosives following an altercation with shop attendants over a spilt glass of beer. He was immediately apprehended by the police who recovered the explosives.

On Wednesday morning, police officers and officials from the Zimbabwe National Army One Infantry Brigade searched his house for explosives. The exercise took more than an hour during which a handcuffed Mangeya and his wife, only identified as Mai Craig, assisted detectives with the search. Shop attendants at Regal Supermarket at the shopping complex said that Mangeya became angry after one of them spilled his glass of beer while he was playing pool with friends.

Bulawayo police spokesperson Inspector Precious Simango yesterday declined to comment, referring questions to the ZNA. ZNA public relations officer Lieutenant Colonel Alphios Makotore yesterday said he could not comment as he was in a meeting.
