NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) - Rwandan President Paul Kagame rejected allegations by a French judge that he orchestrated the 1994 attack that unleashed Rwanda's genocide, saying the accusation was politically motivated, the British Broadcasting Corp. reported Wednesday.
Judge Jean-Louis Bruguiere said this week that Kagame instructed his rebel Rwanda Patriotic Front, or RPF, to shoot down a plane carrying then-President Juvenal Habyarimana. That act sparked the massacre of hundreds of thousands of people in Rwanda.
"This is something that has been recycled over the last five years by this French judge, and it's not really a judicial process as such, it's a political process," Kagame told the BBC.
