Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe is threatening to expel the U.S. ambassador, criticizing him for advice he has given Mugabe's opponent in a presidential runoff.

Speaking at the formal launch of his election campaign today, Mugabe noted Ambassador James McGee had publicly urged opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai to return to Zimbabwe to lead his embattled supporters. Tsvangirai returned yesterday after more than six weeks abroad.

Mugabe says that, if McGee continues offering advice to Tsvangirai, he will "kick him out of the country."

Mugabe also ridiculed claims the opposition leader was the target of a military assassination plot.
