Rwanda anger at South Africa shooting probe
Kigali, 08 July-(ANA)-Rwanda has expressed its concern over the way the authorities in South Africa are investigating the shooting of a former Rwandan army chief of staff.
Lt Gen Faustin Kayumba Nyamwasa was wounded outside his house in Johannesburg last month.
The foreign minister said she had summoned the South African ambassador to voice her alarm over official insinuations that Rwanda was involved.
The general went into exile this year after falling out with the president.
Rwanda has repeatedly denied accusations it tried to assassinate Lt Gen Nyamwasa.
Four people - reportedly from Tanzania, Somalia and Mozambique - have been charged with his attempted murder.
But last week a South African foreign ministry official said foreign "security operatives" were involved in the shooting.(ANA)
