Zimbabwe diamond deal with Ari Ben Menashe Exposed

Zimbabwe diamond deal with Ari Ben Menashe exposed--"American international diamond buyer, John Marsischky, managing director of gemstones company Flashes of Color, revealed in an interview this week that Dickens & Madson, the company which last week claimed it was hired by the opposition Movement for Democratic Change leader Morgan Tsvangirai to assassinate President Mugabe, has been working as a conduit for the transfer of funds between Zimbabwean officials and buyers."

Shermy's post at the LINK above shows the Canadian company, Dickens & Madson, and international "gun for hire," Ari Ben-Menashe, dealing with the Mugabe government in illegal diamond sales and setting up claims of an assassination plot. The general election in Zimbabwe is close at hand and this is the latest in Mugabe's struggle to keep power. Mugabe's terror squads are keeping busy too.
