RWANDA/PRESIDENT'S WIDOWBack
[Published: Tuesday March 02 2010]

Rwanda president's widow arrested

Paris, 02 March-(ANA)-The widow of assassinated Rwandan President Juvenal Habyarimana has been arrested in France after being accused of helping to plan the 1994 genocide.

French officials said Agathe Habyarimana was detained in the Paris region by police executing a Rwandan-issued international arrest warrant.

President Habyarimana died in April 1994 when his jet was hit by a missile.

Hardline ethnic Hutu supporters of the president then launched a massacre of minority Tutsis.

More than 800,000 people died in the ensuing genocide. (ANA)
