The party, the political base of President Robert Mugabe, also plans to frame members of parliament from the Movement for Democratic Change, the Times said. Once seats become vacant, Zanu-PF would then use violence and voter intimidation to win resulting by-elections, the report said.

The MDC, headed by Morgan Tsvangirai, out-polled Zanu-PF in the March 29 elections, winning more seats in the lower house of parliament. Zanu-PF disputed several seats in the courts, but judges refused to overturn those votes.

The Times said it had obtained minutes from a meeting of the Zanu-PF Joint Operation Command.

"We are starting to see a pattern emerge," Nelson Chamisa, the MDC spokesman, said. "This is a consistent, coordinated strategy."

One MDC member of parliament was kidnapped Tuesday outside the High Court in Harare. Ten have been charged with various offenses, and another was beaten into a coma -- an attack that helped trigger Tsvangirai's decision to withdraw from the presidential runoff.
