Key Rwandan 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 United Nations said on Friday.
Ladislas Ntaganzwa, 53, is accused of organising mass rapes and the massacre of thousands, the BBC reports.
The United States 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.
