YEAH:Top Rwanda genocide suspect arrested

One of the last suspects wanted for alleged
involvement in the 1994 Rwandan genocide has
been arrested in neighbouring Democratic
Republic of Congo, the UN says.
Ladislas Ntaganzwa, 53, is accused of organising
mass rapes and the massacre of thousands.
The US has issued a $5m (£3.2m) reward for his
arrest, calling him "one of the main instigators of
the genocide".
Mr Ntaganzwa and his lawyers have not
commented on the allegations.
He was one of nine suspects still wanted by the
UN for their alleged role in the genocide, which
left about 800,000 people dead. The others are
still at large.
The genocide saw militias from the majority Hutu
ethnic group killing Tutsis and moderate Hutus.
Prosecutor for the International Criminal Tribunal
for Rwanda (ICTR) Hassan Bubacar Jallow told the
BBC's Focus on Africa radio programme that Mr
Ntaganzwa was "a big fish", even if he was not
the most senior person to have been caught.
The ICTR indictment describes his involvement in
1994 in the killing of more than 20,000 Tutsis
between 14 and 18 April.
It says he "substantially participated in the
planning, preparation and execution of the
massacre".
"He personally participated in these crimes," his
indictment says.
He told a group including Hutu civilians to
surround Cyahinda parish, in southern Rwanda,
"so that no Tutsis could escape and told them to
kill Tutsis", the indictment adds.
He is also wanted for other crimes.
The ICTR, which is now winding up its activities,
has transferred his case to Rwanda, Mr Jallow
told the BBC.
Mr. Ntaganzwa might stand trial in Rwanda, as
the country requested. Mr. Ntaganzwa is
accused of five counts, including genocide and
rape as a crime against humanity.
