Bugging Device Found - Secretary General Slaa

Tanzania - There was drama in Dodoma when gadgets believed to be bugging devices were found on Thursday night in the hotel rooms of Chadema Secretary-General Willibrod Slaa and another opposition MP, both of whom are attending the current parliamentary session...

The other MP targeted by the unknown people who planted the high tech devices in the rooms is the Civic United Front (CUF) representative for Konde, Dr Ali Tarab Ali...

The two politicians then teamed up and scoured Dr Slaa's room together for any suspicious objects and were stunned to find what looked like recording gadgets tucked under the mattress.

Alarmed, Dr Ali, also suspecting that he might also have been targeted, checked in his room. And to his shock, he unearthed a similar gadget, also hidden under his mattress.

Speaking to reporters after the discovery of the recording device in his room, Dr Slaa said: "I have read widely about bugging and I know, how these devices work." (more)
