Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe has accused the United States of interfering in the country's presidential election scheduled for early next month, according to Australian news report Wednesday.

President Mugabe also claims the US is trying to defend opposition candidate Morgan Tsvangirai against charges of treason.

President Mugabe criticised the United States and accused it of interfering in the presidential poll, during a rally in the Zimbabwean capital Harare.

Mr Mugabe made the remarks after US officials condemned the laying of treason charges against opposition candidate Morgan Tsvangirai.

Mr Tsvsangirai, along with opposition secretary general Welshman Ncube and Shadow Lands Minister Renson Gasela have been accused of plotting to kill President Mugabe.

All three men say the allegations are a part of an attempt to smear the opposition in the lead up to next month's presidential election.
