Trial of suspect in Rwandan church massacre begins

ARUSHA, Tanzania -A Rwandan businessman went on trial Monday for allegedly ordering bulldozers to demolish a church where 2,000 Tutsis had sought shelter, and watching as they were crushed or hunted down by armed gangs. More than half a million members of the Tutsi ethnic minority and moderates from the Hutu majority were slaughtered during the 100-day Rwandan genocide in 1994, and justice is still being meted out. Gaspard Kanyarukiga, who was arrested in South Africa in July 2004, pleaded innocent to killing about 2,000 Tutsis at Nyange Church. By: SUKHDEV CHHATBAR, AP.
