LUSAKA, Sept 1 (Reuters) – A Zambian court freed five Egyptians and one Zambian on Friday, after prosecutors dropped espionage charges against them three weeks after they arrived on a private plane with guns, bullets, cash and fake gold.
Two of the Egyptians would be rearrested on unspecified lesser charges and freed on bond, Zambia’s Drug Enforcement Commission said. Five other Zambian nationals were not freed and will still face trial at the high court on charges of entering a forbidden part of the airport, a magistrate said.
