A FRENCH probe into what sparked the 1994 Rwandan genocide appears to exonerate current president Paul Kagame and his Tutsi allies after Paris had previously accused him of triggering the killing of 800,000 people in 100 days.

A top suspect wanted for orchestrating the killings of thousands of people in Rwanda’s 1994 genocide – including children, hospital patients, priests and even an elderly and revered African queen – has been captured, police said.
