Paul Kagamé ‘cleared’ of part in 1994 downing of Rwandan president’s plane

Fatal missile killing President Habyarimana and triggering genocide likely fired by militant Hutus, according to new inquiryAlmost 18 years after the plane carrying President Juvénal Habyarimana of Rwanda was shot down, on 6 April 1994, triggering a 100-day genocide during which Tutsis and moderate Hutus were slaughtered, a French judge has filed new evidence that radically changes the investigation. The technical inquiry to locate the point from which the fatal missile was fired seems to clear the Rwandan Popular Front (FPR) – the rebel forces led at the time by the current president, Paul Kagamé– of any part in the assassination.
