HARARE—Zimbabean police on Thursday arrested two foreign journalists at a Harare hotel for covering the country's election without accreditation, police said.

"I can confirm that we have arrested two reporters at York Lodge for practising without accreditation," said police spokesman Wayne Bvudzijena, who added the police would identify them on Friday.

Witnesses said that armed riot police and what appeared to be state intelligence agents were at the hotel.

An employee at the hotel told Reuters by telephone:

"There are just ordinary policemen, some in plain clothes. Some of them are armed."
