Fulgence Kayishema, a former police officer accused of ordering the killing of some 2,000 Tutsis who were seeking refuge in a church during the 1994 Rwandan genocide, has been arrested in South Africa, a UN war crimes tribunal and South African police said on Thursday.
In tonight's edition: A French court rules that the Rwandan man accused of having bankrolled the country's genocide can be transfereed to a UN tribunal to stand trial. Felix Kabuga was arrested near Paris earlier this year after 25 on the run. Cameroon's accused of becoming increasingly repressive after hundreds of opposition protesters remain in jail following their arrest at anti-government demonstrations last week. And several people appear in court in Paris after trying to take African artwork from a museum in the French capital.

After 26 years on the run, the past has finally caught up with Félicien Kabuga, the alleged supplier of machetes for the Rwandan genocide and the founder of its Radio Mille Collines propaganda arm. François Picard's panel asks where international justice will best be served and whether Kabuga's capture could net more ringleaders in a grim chapter of history that to this day still poisons relations between France and Rwanda.
