    genocide:

    of orchestrating the killings of thousands of people. Police say he
    was arrested Monday in Uganda on charges of genocide, complicity in
    genocide, and direct and public incitement to commit genocide.

    -- Felicien Kabuga: Rwanda's most wanted genocide suspect. A wealthy
    businessman, Kabuga has been on the run since he is accused of helping
    finance the genocide.

    pleaded not guilty to planning the massacres on Tutsis who had sought
    refuge at the Nyange Parish.

    -- Callixte Kalimanzira: A former interior minister in Rwanda. He has
    been sentenced to 30 years in prison for tricking thousands of people
    to hide on a hill, only to watch them get slaughtered by militias.

    -- Col. Theoneste Bagosora: Former director of Rwanda's Ministry of
    Defense. He is appealing a life sentence after being convicted of using
    his position to direct Hutu soldiers to kill Tutsis and moderate Hutus.

    -- Augustin Ngirabatware: A former Rwandan minister accused of
    diverting funds from international donors to murderous militias. He is
