World Briefing - Europe - Spain - Rwandan Ex-General Sought - NYTimes.com: "Spain is seeking the extradition on genocide charges of a former Rwandan general who has been the target of two assassination plots while in exile in South Africa, authorities said Wednesday, but Rwanda said it should have priority in prosecuting him. A Spanish judge charged Gen. Faustin Kayumba Nyamwasa and 39 other members of the military in 2008 with the mass killings of Hutu civilians in 1994. General Nyamwasa, above in a 2000 photo, was shot in June in what his wife says was an assassination attempt ordered by Rwanda’s president, Paul Kagame. A South African prosecutor said there was a second plot to kill the general while he was in the hospital. Rwanda’s foreign affairs minister, Louise Mushikiwabo, rejected allegations that her government had tried to kill General Nyamwasa, who is accused in Rwanda of trying to destabilize Mr. Kagame’s government."
