 CAPE TOWN, South Africa (AP) - F.W. De Klerk, South Africa's last white president and a Nobel Peace Prize winner, insisted Thursday that he knew nothing about any atrocities committed during his leadership.
De Klerk spoke as an apartheid-era police minister prepared to stand trial for allegedly poisoning a black church leader.
The former leader warned prosecutors against starting a "witch hunt" against former white government officials. He told reporters that African National Congress guerrillas should also be prosecuted if members of the white apartheid-era security forces will be targeted.
