A British former SAS officer is among suspected mercenaries due in court in Zimbabwe over an alleged coup plot.
Simon Mann, 46, is among 64 men accused of an alleged attempt to overthrow the government of Equatorial Guinea.

Mr Mann, who runs a private security firm in South Africa, was reportedly arrested in Harare last Sunday as he waited for a plane carrying the men.

The 64 are likely to be charged on Monday with plotting to "destabilise a sovereign government".
