France rules on appeal to prosecute Rwandan president’s killing

A French court will decide Friday whether to reopen an investigation into the assassination 26 years ago of Rwanda’s president in a plane downing that triggered the country’s 100-day genocide.

The plane was struck by at least one missile as it came in to land at Kigali, also killing Burundi’s president Cyprien Ntaryamira, another Hutu, on board.The investigation initially focused on allies of Kagame, a Tutsi who led the Rwandan Patriotic Front rebel movement that came to power after defeating the extremist Hutu regime.

Then in 2012, a report by French experts pinpointed the camp of Kanombe, controlled by Habyarimana’s army, as the missile launch site — shifting the investigation’s focus.
