Mugabe looks for support at African summit

Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe was welcomed by his peers Monday, strolling into an African Union summit where leaders were unlikely to criticize him despite Western calls for them to condemn his widely discredited re-election.

The United States has vowed to bring the issue of Zimbabwe before the U.N. Security Council this week, and British Prime Minister Gordon Brown urged the AU to reject the result of Zimbabwe's presidential runoff.

Mugabe was the sole candidate in Friday's vote. Opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai withdrew, saying his supporters had become targets of brutal state-sponsored violence.
