A man armed with an ax and a knife was shot to death by security guards after apparently trying to enter the office of Zimbabwe Prime Minister Robert Mugabe, witnesses said in Harare, the capital. “He said he wanted to see the prime minister and was asked if he had an appointment. Then he started running around brandishing the knife and was shot dead,” a government spokesman said. Mugabe, 61, has survived three attempts on his life.
