Remember those South African Mercenaries that were arrested in Zimbabwe when their plane stopped at Harare?

"Almost all the 70 mercenaries accused of plotting to overthrow the government of Equatorial Guinea have pleaded guilty in a Zimbabwe court."http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/3912051.stm
Apparently they weren't simple "security agents" bound for Congo. Related to Equatorial Guinea on coup alert from March. Yet another oil rich country which has an oppressive authoritarian government.

The real question is who was behind the coup attempt…
