Former Rwandan minister convicted of war crimes
Adam at 2:28 PM ET
In war crimes news Thursday, the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) handed down two life sentences today to a former Rwandan minister for culture and higher education, Jean de Dieu Kamuhanda, for the crimes of genocide and extermination, according to a report on IRIN. Kamuhanda committed the crimes during the April-June 1994 genocide, which claimed the lives of at least 800,000 people. Also today at the ICTR, Canadian General Romeo Dallaire, former head of UN forces in Rwanda, faced another day of tough cross examination from defense attorneys for four Rwandan military leaders now on trial, including Colonel Theoneste Bagasora, a former chef de cabinet in the Rwandan Ministry of Defence. General Dallaire has been testifying since Monday.
