Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe said on Friday liberation war veterans would take up arms if he loses a June 27 presidential run-off vote.
Mugabe told youth members of his ruling ZANU-PF party in Harare that the veterans had told him they would launch a new bush war if opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai wins the election.
"They said if this country goes back into white hands just because we have used a pen (vote), 'we will return to the bush to fight,'" Mugabe said, in the latest racketing up of pressure to extend his 28-year-presidency.
Mugabe says Tsvangirai is a puppet of former colonial ruler Britain.
The war veterans, usually acting alongside the youth militia, have regularly been used as shock troops to intimidate government opponents.
Movement for Democratic Change leader Tsvangirai, human rights groups and Western powers accuse Mugabe of unleashing a brutal campaign to win the run-off.
Tsvangirai says 66 of his followers have been murdered but former guerrilla leader Mugabe, who has ruled since independence in 1980, blames the MDC for violence that has caused widespread international concern.
Earlier, the MDC said Zimbabwean police impounded two campaign buses used by Tsvangirai in the latest action against the opposition leader in the election campaign.
Tsvangirai, who has been detained four times in the past week and has had his own vehicle confiscated, would continue the campaign, MDC spokesman George Sibotshiwe said.
Mugabe and ZANU-PF were defeated in March for the first time since independence in 1980 but Tsvangirai failed to win the presidential vote outright, necessitating a second round.
The Southern African Development Community, a grouping of 14 nations including Zimbabwe, has sent a team of election monitors to Harare. Observers from Western nations critical of Mugabe's government are not being allowed into the country.
