Former Rwandan Minister, Driver Slain

A former Rwandan minister, fired because he demanded punishment for rogue soldiers carrying out revenge attacks against suspects in his nation’s 1994 genocide, was fatally shot, a family friend said. Seth Sendashonga, who survived a assassination attempt in February 1996, was killed in Nairobi, the Kenyan capital, along with his Rwandan driver, the friend said. Police refused to comment on the killings or whether any suspects were in custody. Sendashonga lived in exile in Nairobi and ran an opposition group after he was dismissed as interior minister in late 1995.
