Zimbabwe military says cellphones a danger to security

Zimbabwe's military has said the country's cellphone operators are threatening national security by using independent connections to the outside world, reports the Mail&Guardian Online.

"Zimbabwe Defence Forces director for communications, Colonel Livingstone Chineka said the three cellphone firms should route international calls through the state-owned fixed-line operator TelOne, and not use their own gateways, in order to make it easier to monitor international traffic.

There was no immediate comment from the three operators."
