A FRENCH appeals court rejected a Rwandan request to extradite alleged mass-killing mastermind Agathe Habyarimana, widow of the Rwandan president whose death sparked the 1994 genocide.

The man whose heroism in the face of genocide was portrayed in the film 'Hotel Rwanda' was warned today he could face charges of financing terror.

When presidential hopeful Victoire Ingabire, a Hutu, returned to Rwanda after a long absence she immediately visited a memorial to Tutsis killed in the 1994 genocide and asked why Hutus who also died were not remembered.
