Zimbabwe State Newspaper Attacked in Protest of 1980s Killings

The BBC is reporting on an attack against the website of Zimbabwe's state-owned Herald newspaper. The report provides no technical details but links the attack to allegations that the government carried out mass killings in the 1980s:

"Headlines on the site were replaced by the word Gukurahundi.
"The word refers to a campaign of mass slaughter that the government has been accused of carrying out after independence."
