Rwanda genocide 'kingpin' jailed
Source: BBC News

Former army colonel Theoneste Bagosora has been convicted by a UN tribunal of instigating Rwanda's 1994 genocide and sentenced to life in prison.

Bagosora and two co-defendants were found to have led a committee of Hutu extremists that plotted the massacre of ethnic Tutsis and moderate Hutus.

It is the first time the Rwanda tribunal has convicted anyone of organising the killings.

More than 800,000 people were killed in Rwanda's genocide.

Bagosora is 67 years old.

But that Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld could confront a similar fate. But America
is a 'Democracy,' so nothing will happen to them. <--- my opinion, you might
totally disagree, just as Congress does.

Sidebar: reporters in Rwanda during the time, said that '(hate) talk radio' aided
in the genocide.
