HARARE, June 16 (Reuters) - Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe threatened on Monday to arrest opposition Movement for Democratic Change leader Morgan Tsvangirai for provoking violence ahead of a June 27 presidential election run-off.

"We are warning them (the MDC leaders) that we will not hesitate to arrest them (for violence), and we will do that in broad daylight," Mugabe said at a campaign rally in Kadoma, south of Harare. (Reporting by Mike Saburi)
