HARARE, Zimbabwe - U.S. diplomats and British colleagues were attacked as they tried to investigate political violence in Zimbabwe, a U.S. Embassy official said Thursday.

Paul Engelstad, spokesman for the U.S. Embassy, said an Embassy employee was beaten and tires of cars in the convoy were slashed.

Engelstad said the group was still being detained at a roadblock in rural Zimbabwe.

He said U.S. Ambassador James McGee, who did not go on the trip, was pressing Zimbabwean officials to release them.
