Australian tourist murdered in Zimbabwe

Harare- Zimbabwe (PANA) -- An Australian tourist was killed Monday in Zimbabwe's resort town of Victoria Falls, police said.
The unnamed tourist was stabbed to death in the forest by assailants, now being sought by the police.
"We are working round the clock to find the culprits and the motive behind the killing," police spokesman Alexio Paradzai said.
Australia and England, citing alleged human rights abuses by the Harare government and security fears, are leading an international campaign to switch World Cup Cricket matches slated for Zimbabwe to co-hosts South Africa and Kenya.
