Police search for motive after 49 hurt in Zimbabwe election blast

HARARE (REUTERS) - Police said on Sunday (June 24) they were searching for a motive for an explosion at Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa's election rally that injured 49 people.
Vice President Constantino Chiwenga, the general who led a de facto coup that forced long-time leader Robert Mugabe to resign in November, described Saturday's (June 23) blast as a "terrorist act" that would not stop the July 30 presidential, parliamentary and local elections, Zimbabwe's first post-Mugabe vote.
"The police will hunt down the criminals. They will be hunted down and they will be brought before the law," Chiwenga told a campaign rally of the ruling ZANU-PF party in the town of Chitungwiza, 30 km (20 miles) south of the capital Harare.

Justin  got on bended knee  for Hailey in front of guests at the resort they're staying at while vacationing in the Bahamas.
