Zimbabwe?s president, Robert Mugabe, accused US President George W. Bush of ?rank hypocrisy? for lecturing him on human rights and compared the US Guantanamo Bay prison to a concentration camp.

?His hands drip with innocent blood of many nationalities,? Mugabe said in a typically fiery speech to the UN General Assembly. ?He kills in Iraq. He kills in Afghanistan. And this is supposed to be our master on human rights?? Mugabe, 83, in power since independence from Britain in 1980, was speaking the day after Bush scolded the governments of Belarus, Syria, Iran and North Korea as ?brutal regimes? in his speech to the General Assembly. Bush criticized the Zimbabwe government headed by Mugabe as ?tyrannical? and an ?assault on its people.?

Critics accuse Mugabe of plunging Zimbabwe?s once-thriving economy into an abyss of widespread food shortages and hyperinflation. Mugabe accuses Western countries of sabotaging the economy as punishment for his seizure of white-owned farms to resettle landless blacks.
