Mail & Guardian Online: "Zimbabwe's opposition was in contact with senior military and intelligence officials on Tuesday night to persuade them to respect the results of the election as pressure grew on Robert Mugabe, the President, to recognise defeat.
Sources in the opposition Movement for Democratic Change said the contacts were aimed at winning the security establishment's support or, at the least, ensuring it did not intervene to overturn what appeared to be a clear victory for Morgan Tsvangirai over Mugabe"
