Zimbabwe president 'inches' from explosion

Zimbabwe's President Emmerson Mnangagwa has survived an apparent bomb attack at a rally in the city of Bulawayo.

Mr Mnangagwa said an object "exploded a few inches away from me - but it is not my time".

Video footage from White City Stadium shows an explosion happening close to Mr Mnangagwa as he was leaving the stage having addressed supporters.

It appears that in the last 24 hours, 2 bombings were made against an African President or Prime Minister, see the story on the other bombing here: http://www.gopbriefingroom.com/index.php/topic,321515.0.html  Maybe both were assassination attempts, that is not clear.

Priapism?  That could have been messy.
